Year 9 Street Art

Paste-ups Blacks Style

This term the students in the Year 9 Elective Street Art have been exploring the work of Street Artists Banksy and Levalet. After watching the documentary ‘Banksy Does New York’ they were tasked with creating their own Paste-up artworks, which focused on the localised social issue of promoting the BPS Universals.

Paste-up Graffiti has been in existence for some time now and has emerged in many forms. To many it represents a way to make a statement of a political nature, to others it is a way to satire a current day subject and again there are those that find Paste up Graffiti a way to express their art form.

Students of the class employed drawing and design skills to refine their ideas and then utilised Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create their Paste-ups. They then selected appropriate locations in the school yard to post their designs and watch for their peers' reactions.
