This is a craft tutorial I LOVE. It’s about Graffiti Art. While I was driving my daughters around downtown Seattle, they were bothered by the graffiti on buildings and trains. So we started discussing how those people might live in a poverty setting, maybe their parents couldn’t afford art classes or special creative outlets for them like singing lessons or dance classes. Maybe as they grew older into adulthood, they had hard feelings and didn’t know how to express them so they began painting graffiti.<\/p>\n

We did discuss how it’s illegal and not nice to vandalize the property of others. We talked about how some of the graffiti we saw was really good! And I suggested that maybe if those people had been given the opportunity to paint for a business, how wonderful that would be. It inspired me to let these children create some graffiti art of their own.<\/p>\n

Objective:<\/strong> Creating artwork inspired by graffiti and spray painting.\u00a0Graffiti Art is used to refer to the images painted usually with spray paint. These images are most often found on buildings but what would it look like if this technique could be seen in galleries or museums?<\/p>\n

Minimum Age:<\/strong> Preschool<\/p>\n
