Artist in Residence

Matt "Mystery"

Students in the Year 8 Street Art Elective at Cecil Hills High School had the opportunity to meet a practicing Street Artist Matthew Peet, also known as “Mystery”.  

Matthew is a Sydney-based graffiti artist, who works for The Street University, Liverpool. Street University is a youth development project created by the Ted Noffs Foundation which provides various community-based services for people aged 12-25 Their programs specialise in channeling young people away from personally destructive and anti-social behaviours to improved self-esteem, inter-communal co-operation, and social engagement.  (See separate article on the previous page of this newsletter for more information on The Street University).

Matthew has been teaching students about the history of graffiti and lettering techniques. He will be a guest artist in residence at Cecil Hills High School during Term 1 and 2 and he will be collaborating with students in the making of a mural for our school.
