THE PLAN
1 session; 40 minutes per session
1. The students will view and discuss images of Banksy's street art.
2. The class will briefly discuss the legality and morality of graffiti.
3. The students will create a meaningful design in stencil form.
4. The students will spray sidewalk chalk paint on their stencils on hard surfaces outside to create temporary, legal, "graffiti".
1. Tag board (or other sturdy material that's not too hard to cut)
2. Spray bottles
3. Water1. Tag board (or other sturdy material that's not too hard to cut)
2. Spray bottles
3. Sidewalk chalk paint (water, corn starch, food coloring)
1. Introduction to graffiti/street art and artist Banksy
-View and discuss images, reactions to, how they were created, legality of street art, history of graffiti
2. Create stencils
-Think of recognizable shape that has meaning to student/community/society/etc. and draw on material
-Cut out shape to create stencil
3. Spray stencil
-Go outside to sidewalk, blacktop, etc.
-Place stencil on the ground (may have a friend help hold it down)
-Spray chalk paint into negative space of the stencil
-Remove stencil
Students will be assessed on their participation during discussion and design of the stencil.
Did the students create a stencil with a recognizable shape?
If time allows, students can write a short statement explaining their idea.
-This is a great outside art lesson for the end of the year. I'm using it for the last day of art class.
-This lesson could be stretched to fill more than one class period with more time spent creating stencils.
-The chalk paint will become more opaque as it dries.
-I'm using old posters that were headed for the trash as the material for creating the stencils.
-I've also done a similar lesson using plain water and instead of talking about Banksy, we talked about reverse graffiti.
