In which Rebekah proceeds to fangirl over the British

Every fairytale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

Now for the one person that actually reads this blog (Hi Mr. Sands!) I apologize for the next little bit of gratuitous fangirling:

IGOTTODOMORIARTY'SFACEINCLASSANDITTURNEDOUTWELL AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA SDFGASJKFBHSK

I'm good. I'm fine. Just fine. Eheheh.
So.
I did a stencil of this guy:
Look at his face

 His name's Andrew Scott and he plays one of the most brilliant villians. He plays Moriarty in the modern of Sherlock Holmes.

OKAY. Onto the "actual content". I don't know why you would /want/ the actual content when I could just spam you with pictures of his face and quotes from the show but whatever.

*spraypainting the stencil*
Question time:
Apparently I'm supposed to put in vocab words in my answers.
These words to be exact.
Stencil                 Spray Paint       Xacto Knife        Positive/Negative Space
Composition    Collage                Photoshop        Threshold              Contrast
1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.
 
We used PHOTOSHOP (but how can i make it MORE obnoxious?) and went to THRESHOLD to make it black and white and then we printed it out.
2. When creating the collage background explain your choices of colors, materials (magazine paper, books pages, etc), and placement. How does it relate to your topic? If no relation discuss general idea.
We tore out pages of books for our COLLAGE and glued them to the...thing.
3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.
 
4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.
He had to cut away from outselves using the XACTO KNIFE and. Um. No challenges? It wasn't that difficult, actually.
5. How was your experience with the spray paint? Discuss how color choice is important, placement of stencil, and any other concepts you noticed while creating this.
The SPRAYPAINT was fun. Um. Since this guy was a villian I did black on red like so:
Honey, you should see me in a stencil.
Because those are obviously villian colors, yes/yes?

Moriarty. Yes. Him and his suits.
