Composition    Collage                Photoshop        Threshold              Contrast

1. Explain how you changed your photo in the lab to create a stencil.
When we were in the lab we had to put our photo on a projector and trace it on the wall with a pencil. this creates a stencil
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.
What i did was I glued paper from this weird mythological booka and i got different monsters in the back rounnd and generally there were lots of patterns in the backround just to make the picture seem eerie. there was a contrast from the building which is white to the backround which is black.
3. Discuss the way positive and negative space was used to create your stencil.
I used the xacto knife to cut out all the windows and the out line of the tower. and then i spray painted it with the stencil on a paper then it turned out to be the picture i have now
4. When using the xacto knife, explain the safety procedures, how to use the knife and any challenges you had to overcome while cutting.
Dont cut your self and cut with a board under the paper. it was hard to cut  out the windows because they were circular
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. 
I spray painted the negative space black, to make it seem like night and all. and then i sort of kept the the rest white and then painted it with orange and yellow to tget the efect of fire burning the building.
