Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is regarded as a form of artwork, but on the other hand others may regard it as damage to public property. There is now legal graffiti walls all over the country so people can express themselves and show off their talent without getting in trouble! You must ALWAYS ask permission first before doing art of this kind anywhere!
In the 1990's there emerged a new form of graffiti, known as 'tagging' which involved the repeated use of a singular symbol or text to mark out own territory.
Today, students were asked to design and then produce their own name (or nickname/ surname) in graffiti style alongside an image.
Instructions
1. Students were asked to sketch a few designs in their sketchpad. They used their artist research sheet of various fonts for guidance, if needed.
2. When happy with their design, it is then transferred onto A4 white card.
3. Colour was then added using pencils and/ or felt-tips.
4. Students were allowed to use a black biro for the fine details and outlines of text, if they desired.
5. Finally, their tag and image was cut out and stuck onto an image of a brick wall.
Take a look at the finished designs. I'm sure you agree that they look so realistic!
