Stencil Suspects:
Wanted for Being Me
Exploring Identity Through Self-Portrait Stencil Print
Senior Cycle
Students created stencil self-portraits in the tradition of street art, exploring identity through bold visual language, symbolism, and text. Drawing on the work of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, JR, and Blek le Rat, they examined how image, context, and short phrases combine to make personal and social statements. Students first developed technical stencil skills by reproducing an existing street artwork, before designing their own "Wanted for…" self-portrait poster; using props, gesture, and a self-chosen tagline to capture what makes them distinctly themselves.
