Statement of Inquiry : Street art has become a global sensation that depicts the culture, time and place of the artist environment.
Inquiry Questions:
Factual: Street art has transformed the exhibition space beyond the gallery walls?
Conceptual: How does Street art walk a fine line between commercialism and fine art?
Why do some artists hide their identity while others don't?

History and style of Graffiti - Bombing.
NYC in the 1980's
The history of graffiti is connected to mans desire to write, scratch or scribe on a wall. This is a simple act of leaving a mark. Over time, the styles and messaging have evolved.
Inspiration for your workbook covers.
History of graffiti in NYC.
Growth of graffiti subculture
Modern graffiti began in Philadelphia, in the 1960s.[1] Shortly after the death of Charlie Parker (nicknamed "Yardbird" or "Bird") in 1955, graffiti began appearing around New York with the words "Bird Lives"[2] but it was not for about one and a half more decades that graffiti started to be noticeable in NYC. Around 1970-71 the center of graffiti culture shifted from Philadelphia to New York City, especially around Washington Heights, where writers such as TAKI 183 and Tracy 168 started to gain media attention.[1] Using a naming convention in which they would add their street number to their nickname, they "bombed" a train with their work, letting the subway take it throughout the city.[1][3] Bubble lettering was popular among writers from the Bronx, but was replaced with a new "wildstyle", a term coined by Tracy 168 and a legendary original Graffiti crew with over 500 members include Blade, Cope 2, T Kid 170, Cap, Juice 177, and Dan Plasma.[4][5] Graffiti tags started to grow in style and size.[3] Notable names from that time include DONDI, Lady Pink, Zephyr, Julio 204, STAY HIGH 149, PHASE 2.[3][4].

Examples of traditional and contemporary Bombing styles. These examples demonstrate that no two styles are the same. The graffiti writer creates their own unique style and actually tries to out do their rival artist. This creates an ever evolving style, new techniques and fonts.
Often the writing which is called BOMBING or a PIECE, check these examples out as use as inspiration to create your own name design.

TASK 1
Investigate the work of the artist, BANKSY and create your own piece that is inspired by his work and process. You will install or hang the piece in the atrium.
Using his website as a source (link below) to research more about him. Make sure that you are exploring the work outside on the streets.
www.banksy.co.uk/out.asp
In the books:
Add the heading BANKSY at the top of your page (be creative).
Provide a brief outline: who is he, where does he put his work, How does he do it and why? This will be in the form of a paragraph at the top of the page. Watch the video below to understand his techniques and process.
This link will be super helpful.
www.canvasartrocks.com/blogs/posts/70529347-121-amazing-banksy-graffiti-artworks-with-locations
Paste at least 4 images of his work into your workbook (or doc) that you are inspired by. Surround those images with comments explaining what you THINK, FEEL, SEE and WONDER. Think about what QUESTIONS you have. Be informed, use new (what you have read) knowledge to clearly express these comments.

WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR HOMEWORK.
Helpful tips:
A) The easiest stencils to work with have BRIDGES. This means that your stencil appears as if the black pieces are like islands floating on a white space.
B) A contrasting background helps make your stencil stand out. Avoid dark stencils on dark surfaces.
C) The black parts of the stencil get removed and it is the white paper that is your final stencil. See balloon girl as an example.

Task 2
Swoon
Create a research page for the artist SWOON. Provide a brief outline, who is she, where does she put his work, How does she do it and why? Why is context so important to her work? Her work in the galleries could be considered displaced context, what does that mean?
This link will help swoonstudio.org/ You can also check out the videos below. This link has her bio in it. www.artnet.com/artists/swoon/biography
You should include 4 images of her work as this will help your explanation.
We will experiment with drawing, paper cutting and stencil cutting to create a resolved composition. The composition (Pasted onto a board) should combine drawing skills, paper cutting, paper stencils and may contain colour by using colour pencil, water colour etc.
This composition should demonstrate what you have learned from investigating her work and her techniques.

Task 3 Select an artist from the links above or below. Find 5 images of their work and explain what you find interesting or inspiring about their work, use the elements of art below to help give your annotations some structure.
Paste these images in your workbook and surround them with your annotations.
Look at the inquiry questions below and start to answer 3 of these questions in your workbook.
Inquiry Questions:
Factual: Street art has transformed the exhibition space beyond the gallery walls?
Conceptual: How does Street art walk a fine line between commercialism and fine art?
Why do some artists hide their identity while others don't?
Debatable: To what extent has globalisation lessened the impact street art has within communities?
As a society, why is it that we turn a blind eye to billboards and commercial advertising while being horrified by art appearing in the streets?
Where are the boundaries? Where is is acceptable to place street art and where is is just vandalism?
Elements of art.
You can use the elements of art and principles of design to explain what exactly you like about an artists work. Check to make sure you understand what the art term means.
You may also be inspired by their concept or idea. What is it that they are trying to say in their art?
Often you can be inspired by both the concept and the techniques they use. An example is how I like SWOONS message that is deeply personal and related to her family and community while admiring her life size scale use of Line, Form and Pattern. Her Line work has a lot of movement due to the gestural nature of printmaking. She describes her figures using FORM where you can see both light and shadow. Her use of decorative pattern softens the images and gives additional areas of detail.

Banksy
Shepard Fairey
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_%22Hope%22_poster
Barack Obama "Hope" poster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most widely distributed version of Shepard Fairey's Obama poster, featuring the word "hope". Other versions used the words "change" and "progress".
The Barack Obama "Hope" poster is an image of Barack Obama designed by artist Shepard Fairey, which was widely described as iconic and came to represent his 2008 presidential campaign.[1][2] It consists of a stylized stencil portrait of Obama in solid red, beige and (light and dark) blue, with the word "progress", "hope" or "change" below (and other words in some versions).
The design was created in one day and printed first as a street poster. It was then more widely distributed—both as a digital image and other paraphernalia—during the 2008 election season, initially independent of, but with the approval from, the official Obama campaign.[3] The image became one of the most widely recognized symbols of Obama's campaign message, spawning many variations and imitations, including some commissioned by the Obama campaign. This led The Guardian's Laura Barton to proclaim that the image "acquired the kind of instant recognition of Jim Fitzpatrick's Che Guevara poster, and is surely set to grace T-shirts, coffee mugs and the walls of student bedrooms in the years to come."[4]
In January 2009, after Obama had won the election, Fairey's mixed-media stenciled portrait version of the image was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution for its National Portrait Gallery.
