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 13th 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!
