To link to our Crime and Punishment topic we would like you to explore Street Art and consider – Is it Art or is it Vandalism?

Lesson 1: What is Street art? Use the PowerPoint to help you understand what street art is. Now research some famous street artists and their work.

Lesson 2: Banksy. Use the Powerpoint to research the work of Banksy. Create a pencil drawing of his famous art: Balloon Girl (There is always hope). You can use different shading techniques that we have used in school before to add detail to your sketch.

Lesson 3: Keith Haring. Research his work (Powerpoint provided will help). Recreate one of his images using the ideas provided. This time add lots of colour to make your picture stand out.

Lesson 4: Graffiti. Using the warmup exercises, images and video links to help you use graffiti lettering to write your name. Remember to consider the techniques used to do this. 

Lesson 5: You as an artist. Now imagine you have been asked to add art to the side of the school building. What techniques would you use? Is there anything from your research that you would include e.g famous art, pop art? Now draw and colour what you would display on the wall.

Lesson 6: Is it Art or is it Vandalism? Now you have completed your research and drawings, what are your views on this question? Use the knowledge you have gained over the last few weeks to help you explain your thinking and reasoning.
