The panels are printed – stenciled and stamped – and are ready for slots to be cut so Kensington students and make their free-standing abstract sculpture!

It’s always a surprise to see how many different patterns students create for this project!  They begin by sketching a simple shape which is transferred to stencil paper and then cut out to make the stencil.  After choosing their panel, they develop their design by deciding on a pattern repeat, color and their shape’s direction.  

As an artist in residence at the Kensington Elementary School, we kicked off the “Bright, Bold Sculpture” by diving into pattern design using a stencil or stamp!  They will create their own patterned wood panel that will be used to build a colorful, painted wood sculpture permanently displayed in their school foyer.
