A frequent challenge I have with creative workshops is getting over the “I can’t do it” mentality, or the “blank slate fear”.
In my latest graffiti stencil workshop I tested a new piece of software that makes self portraits easier and less scary.
The participant uses a wiimote and a webcam to create a high contrast image of themselves. This is projected onto a wall which they can then trace onto a board. Using temporary stencils they can then create great images of themselves!
We got some fantastic results!
