A photo my friend Chris Diers took…I remember watching this Zimmerman mural, it is right on damen…
and along comes T-REX….I just saw a new piece of his on the way to oak park the other day…
First of many sketches from my explorations. I’m working on a mapping project that I will show my future students, i hope to get them to sketch from the work they find on the streets…just like how students are encouraged to draw from master paintings in a gallery. There are so many skills that are learned by doing this…
My sketch is rough…i was using colored pencils, which i am not comfortable with, but i want to find something easy….The pieces are of the artists DEBS and Solo….this piece is in Pilsen, Chicago.
you know what i love? my thesis for school. I’m researching how kids view graffiti and street art. Yesterday I student taught at a high school for the first time. I’ve never worked with high schoolers before, but these guys were really cool. We talked about how some graffiti artists use stickers to spread their name and their art….of course i was required to add that this behavior was not encouraged…however, the students told me that while they noticed the stickers before, now they would really look at the different artists who use the streets as their galleries. …here are a few stickers they made.
photos i took of the carvings at the hyde park beach in chicago. Some of the graffiti goes back to the 30’s. I love it here.
