The Graffiti Art classes present the artistic possibilities of stylized letters and pop imagery to young students who usually witness or participate in graffiti as an illegal practice. By drawing in sketch books, painting canvas, spray painting on tarps, and creating murals with permission, the students engage with a lawful method of this expressive technique. Learning letter structure, balance, composition and color theory not only informs their ability to create graffiti works, but enriches their entire understanding of making art and being creative.
