Stencil printing
In this Class 9 Art Education topic, students explore stencil printing as a printmaking technique. They learn how to create a stencil by cutting shapes, letters, or patterns into a sheet, arrange positive and negative spaces, and transfer the design onto paper or other surfaces using ink or paint. The topic develops an understanding of repetition, symmetry, contrast, layering, composition, and careful application while encouraging students to plan and produce their own decorative or expressive prints.

Why is moving the brush from the outside toward the inside useful in stencil work?
The governing concept is preventing seepage at a stencil boundary. Moving the brush from the outside toward the inside directs pressure and paint away from the exposed edge, so less pigment is forced beneath the stencil.
Why is brushing outward from the stencil edge incorrect?
The governing concept is edge control in stencil printing. Brushing outward from the stencil edge can push wet acrylic under the boundary, creating bleed and a blurred or enlarged outline.
