Hello and welcome back to the Art Mess! Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about graffiti and why it has made it's way onto my little blog. It all started about a week ago in art class when my class was told about a street artist called Banksy and his group identity. We were then told to split into partners and make a tag base around something that we both have in common. My partner Katelyn (c heck out her blog here) and I then started brainstorming. We don't have much in common, but we are both a little weird and we both like fantasy. I just started doodling some words that ended up saying "Destination Atlantis." I drew a fish around it and she told me to give it a unicorn horn, so I did. She liked it and I liked it so we went our separate ways to make our own backgrounds to the tag. I chose my theme to be about being different because I am kind of different myself. I made a silhouette of a person's head and labeled it with the word "different." Next I drew some balloons in a cluster and drew another one floating away from the group. That was the only balloon I colored in because it was different and special. On the sides of the paper I wrote the sentences; "Dare 2 Stand Out" and "Be Outlandish" I drew some balloons in a cluster... one floating away from the group. That was the only balloon I colored in because it was different and special. |
Next, I drew a thought bubble that said "Dream" inside of it. Last, I added a few details and I was done.
Now, you may be asking "Wait isn't graffiti vandalism?"
Well, it is, but it is also art. There are people out there who can only find a way to express their beliefs through a can of spraypaint. Graffiti tagging can be used to tell the world who a person is and what they believe in.
Thank you for reading my post! God bless and have a nice day!
