Stencil (from Italian traforetto - perforated]) - a technique for reproducing simple patterns and ornaments; a thin plate in which the pattern to be reproduced is cut; image created with this tool. In technology and industry, the result of using a stencil is not called the same word, unambiguously comparing the term with the mask itself.
Stencils are used both independently and are used in screen printing, when a stencil is applied to a grid or created on it.
A stencil is a sheet of film, paper, or other material in which several through holes of various shapes are cut, or segments that make up the original image. When making a stencil, the picture is divided into segments in such a way that the stencil does not tear during drawing, and the image remains readable. In stansil art, the criterion of artistic expressiveness is taken into account.
