The great thing is we all have our differing opinions and get to choose how we present such topics in our classroom! You say it's "highly irresponsible" to teach such things, but what good does not talking about it do? Bringing the subject of graffiti into the classroom allows for not only some beautiful work, it also allows for deep conversation about what art can be, how some artists choose to make their work, and even whether graffiti artists would consider themselves artists in the first place. It can be taught responsibly and if an art teacher isn't taking the time to do so the correct approach is not being taken. The community in which I live has many areas dedicated to street art/public art, all of which are commissioned pieces. Yet, many of them have elements of "tagging" in them. These works were not created illegally so my students see them everyday as an art in their community. I have to talk about it with my students so they can understand what they are seeing everyday.

I'll never understand why any art teacher would choose to shine a light on illegal public graffiti made by misguided miscreants and use it as inspiration to teach graffiti style art/lettering to kids. To me it's highly irresponsible. Teachers who do this indirectly praise and encourage illegal ugly behaviors.

This year we were lucky enough to have google come to our classroom and we did an exploration with Google Cardboard to 5 pointz in New York City, which used to host legal street art. <br /><br />Lauren @ cornwellfam.comLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163196556321109193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1116092812281164767.post-42475869847582424772016-03-11T14:46:19.399-06:002016-03-11T14:46:19.399-06:00Hey Abby!
