Hand stencils are artistic impressions made by outlining a hand on a surface, often created by spraying or brushing paint around the hand while it is pressed against the chosen medium. This technique has been used for centuries in various cultures, often found in prehistoric cave art. Hand stencils can express identity, creativity, and community. They are also used in modern art and education to explore themes of individuality and the human form. The simplicity of this technique makes it accessible, allowing people of all ages to engage in artistic expression.
