Graffiti names Grade 5 and 6

As a follow on from our stencils the students discussed and analysed examples of graffiti. We had a lesson how to create bubble writing and discussed what makes an effective artwork. Techniques on how to make their work stand out and appeal to a wider audience. They were instructed to come up with a tag name and then to create that name in a graffiti style. They LOVED this activity. I can't stress this enough and the conversations I had formally and informally on the difference between tagging and Street Art were really invaluable. Hopefully it will help curb some of the illegal tagging in the area when they grow up.
