MO·TIF (mo-teef)<br />

n.<br />

1. A recurrent thematic element in an artistic or literary work.<br />

2. A dominant theme or central idea.<br />

3. A repeated figure or design in architecture or decoration.<br />

Will your motif be representational of something from life (like a floral pattern), or will<br />

it be primarily abstract? Will it cover the entire piece, or will it create a random<br />

rhythm around the form? Surface finish is another chance for the designer to<br />

grab and keep the viewers’ attention. What will you emphasize with your<br />

design?<br />

Your stencil motif must be inspired by one of the following: stone, metal, wood,<br />

flowers, plants, or the textures on animals, mammals or marine life.
