Art

This week in Art we looked at the different styles in street art lettering and how it has evolved from simple tags to the complex ‘styles’ we see today.  Graffiti began as crude, simple tags, but as tagging became increasingly popular, writers had to find new ways to make their names stand out. 

Over the next few years, new calligraphic styles were developed and tags turned into large, colourful, elaborate pieces. It did not take long for the crude tags to grow in size, and to develop into artistic, colourful pieces that took up the length of an entire wall. 

Graffiti style writing is now highly complex and sophisticated whilst still being faithful to its inventive origins. The students had a go at writing their names or a word that was meaningful to them in street art style, with some very colourful and inventive results.
