Art and English

From a small age I have always enjoyed drawing and painting. When I was in primary school my favourite subject was Art. I had a great Art teacher and our lessons were always fun and interesting. I’m sure you all know that I enjoy drawing cars the most; I have shown you a few of my paintings on the blog already.

I love looking around me and finding interesting things, it helps keep my head creative and full of ideas. Even though my desk at school is very messy, it is full of different things.

I always read about different styles of art in the library and on the internet. Recently, I have become interested in “Graffiti”. You can see Graffiti all around us, the words and drawings scribbled on walls and on buildings.

Graffiti is a very cool style of art, but you must never break the law. Spraying and painting on walls and buildings is against the law. There are many ways to practise Graffiti without breaking the law.  

Draw on things that belong to YOU! For example, your notebook, any piece of paper and on the computer. Just because you like it, doesn't mean it is okay to draw on someone’s wall!

Challenge!

• ·         Think of a word that is important to you, or you find interesting.
• ·         Use the Graffiti style to draw your word on any piece of paper.
• ·         Hand it in to Mr. Chapman by 13^th of June 2014!
• ·         Good Luck! You might win a prize! 

Here are some examples I found on the internet to help you out!

This is one I made! 

Have fun!
