The students first began this project by looking at the work of Banksy. The students as a group, "Picked Apart the Art" discussed their interpretations of what they believed the artist was trying to say through his artwork. The class then came back together to share what they discussed in each of the groups.
Next the class looked at what were some reoccurring and consistent elements within graffiti. Some of the elements they discussed were: overlapping, bright colors, jagged and geometric style letters Afterwards, Ms. S introduced that the students would be creating some positive graffiti. The class brainstormed as a group, different words that conveyed positivity. Ms. Salatino later did a demonstration to show the students how to create graffiti style words. The students created a rough draft and added bright colors. The students were instructed to choose one color and then rotate in the order of the color wheel either clockwise or counter clockwise.

The students began this project by discussing the idea of identity. The students chose a single images that could work to represent themselves. The students also learned about silhouettes. The class discussed the concept of positive and negative space and how silhouettes rely on negative space in order to convey enough detail for the viewer to understand the image.
Color & Medium ChoiceThe students were given two options on how they would proceed with creating their artwork. The students had the option of working with cut paper or oil pastels. The medium they chose, impacted the order of the project. Option 1: Oil PastelsOption 2: Cut PaperStudents working on their projectsFinal Projects |
