Street Art

These are the places I posted my street art assignment....

Wooster Collective Piece

I really liked this piece of art from the Wooster Collective because I like different styles of hearts and the fact that it involves two objects to complete the artwork instead of it being just on one tree. It could be symbolic of two people in love.

I chose this photograph of Colorado as my self portrait of where I see myself in 10 years. I would like to be married and have a couple of kids and live out in Colorado-it has such beautiful scenery surrounding everything. My brother is currently living in Colorado as well and he's always wanted to live there. So then it would be like I would have my little piece of home close by.

"Exit Through the Gift Shop" Response

I thought the "Exit Through the Gift Shop" video was really interesting because it showed behind the scenes of the artists who did graffiti and showed that the artists didn't create their artwork to "destroy" or "vandalize" property like most people see it as. Banksy makes his art more important than himself but in turn, because he remains anonymous, he is so well known to people and is admired by other artists. While going through some of his images, I noticed that his art  represents light and humorous pieces but then can also represent heavy and serious issues as well.  I found this image below and really enjoyed it because it was a fun "play on words". PARKING was already painted on the building but began to fade (so much that it was hard to see) and Banksy repainted and made PARK bold and clear to see and then added a young girl swinging from the A like it was a swing set at a park.

My Inspiration

This is by Jen Stark. She was my inspiration for my paper sculpture in my 3D class.
