Experimenting with new stencils

This weekend I am going to experiement with the new stencils that I have created. I want to focus on colours and which stencil design and text would suit each colour. I will be focussing on colour associations and linking them to each design.

I have bought 5 flat canvas' that I will be using for my final art piece. My final art piece will be one piece made up of 5 30cmx40cm canvas' displaying an image and a word which displays a personal association to the image. The colour of the canvas, object and text will be determind by colour association and emotive colours.
