Treat Yo Self!

For the second project in the Guerilla Art unit we did chalkings!  Students created their own chalk and found motivational quotes to share with their peers.  Students also took into consideration the layout and font style to best convey their message.   I ended up doing "treat yo self!" from the hilarious show Parks and Recreation (if you haven't watched this show, i highly suggest you get on it!)

 For my advanced drawing class I created an assignment that had the students create works of art that were to be left in public for someone else.  They could be left in library books, drawers at stores, coat pockets, etc.  For mine I decided to leave them at Goodwill!  It was the first Saturday of the month and supa busy.  

 It seemed fitting for the work, people are just people, they shouldn't make you nervous, to be put in the book Friends Always.

  

                                           

The other drawing was put into a frame.  It was fun being sneaky! 

This was our first assignment dealing with making our own art for the community.  In class we had an aesthetic discussion about the benefits and challenges with making community artwork.

more community artwork to come!!!
