Definition: Is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property.
Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.
I chose grafiti because i want to convince people that grafiti is not bandalism if what you are seeing is something with feelings
and thoughts beyond the painting.
There are two types of grafiti, there's the bandalism and the artistic one.
The bandalism is when someone paints "tags" or things without sense or any propouse just to make people angry of painting on their walls
scratches and without sense stuff.
At art class we have the chance to choose between puppets and grafiti, i chose grafiti because is something that we saw at least two in a
day and is part of our lifes, but we never give them the respect and we never see all the effort behind them.
Miss Jessica told us that for March, we need to have the final grafiti painted in a wall. Last period we made little drafts and the final grafiti in scale.
In this last period we separate in parts the grafiti and then we chose what we wanted to do in teams or pairs. Mafer and I chose a man that is
at the top of the grafiti that is walking with a leg cuted in half but instead of bleeding, he expulse all the grafiti wich is all the thoughts, feelings,
ideas, fears or even the reasons of why he was migrating to another country. (That was the cause of his accident)
But in the final product we change the man for the woman because it was easier for us to copy a picture of one of us. We also change instead
of a leg broken, an arm broken because it was in the direction of the grafiti.
The tecnic we used in the woman was making a stencil with craft paper. First we Mafer took a picture of me and then we change the contrast of
the picture to identify the shadows and in the end we just copy the picture and cut the shadows.
This was influenced by a grafiti of Banksy: A "famous" artist that paints diferent things in diferent places and countries but everyone are very strong
and most of the times makes an indirect impact on you. I say "famous" beacuse is famous but no one knows his identity. No one have never see him
painting.
Banksy is a graffiti artist from Bristol, UK, whose artwork has appeared throughout London and other locations around the world. Despite this he carefully manages to keep his real name from the mainstream media. However, many newspapers assert that his real name is Robert or Robin Banks.
Banksy, despite not calling himself an artist, has been considered by some as talented in that respect; he uses his original street art form, often in combination with a distinctive stencilling technique, to promote alternative aspects of politics from those promoted by the mainstream media.
