Students at FMS look forward to 8th grade art. The first project we begin with is always a hit...Graffiti Art! Whenever our display goes up, all students exclaim, "I want to do that!". It is a great project because students love it, the majority are successful, and I am able to learn names a little easier.
We begin by discussing the difference between art and vandalism. We then discuss how graffiti is becoming very mainstream and graffiti artists are now being commissioned by various business, advertising companies, and property owners.
The students then look at many examples. We go over how to draw lettering and make it varied. Students most often select a brick background for their graffiti.
Before students begin coloring, we discuss proper coloring methods and the importance of contrast.
