Stencils



For this assignment, I used my own images from Haiti and stencils to create a meaningful color wheel. The first picture includes 5 landscapes from Haiti. I used a peace sign heart as the stencil because while I was in Haiti our mission was to spread peace and love. I used photo filters and a gradient map to get a rainbow effect. On the second image, I used pictures of little kids I met. The hand stencil reminded me of the Virginia license plate with the little hands that says "Children Come First." Fifty percent of the population of Haiti is children, so their wellbeing is our primary concern. The background is a map of Haiti to show where the kids are from. I used photo filters on the kids' faces and a gradient map on the background, although the gradient didn't show up that well. I used symmetry and balance in both images to connect all the stencils together. I am satisfied with this work. I think it looks neat, and it has meaning behind it.
