​Answer:  What is the difference between street art and graffiti?
​Look through the Banksy images below.  Which is your favorite?
Explain why you like that particular image.


Look at examples of work by Banksy, Christo, Basquiat, Keith Haring, Shepherd Fairey.  
Look at examples of the Obama "Hope" poster by Shepherd Fairey.

We are going to be creating our own posters that take from what we are studying in this class that will be composed of a self portrait that we will modify to create a high-contrast image and eventually layer into a graffiti’d poster. Remember to send a headshot of yourself.

Think about some examples of street art/street artists whose work you think is especially powerful.  




Make a Stencil Photo:

1. Upload any photo to an online photo editing program (Fotoflexer, Pixlr, etc.) If you know how to use Photoshop, of course that works as well. 
2. Turn your photo first into black and white (grayscale). Then fool around and adjust the contrast until you have a super high contrast image.
3. Print
4. Shade in the areas that need to be black and then cut those out using an x-acto knife and a cutting mat underneath.
​5. Spray paint!
