In the past few art lessons, we have been learning all about  Street art, particularly Graffiti. We know that it is not vandalism if you are given permission to do it, so we have written some very good persuasive letters to Mrs. Marson to ask if we can graffiti the container on the playground!   We have learnt that cave art was the earliest form of graffiti and many artists today also do it to send a message or tell a story. We looked at a variety of examples of lettering and tags and were given the chance to design our own tag.

First, we experimented with different types of writing and wrote our the alphabet with a range of designs and colours using oil pastels.

Then we designed our tags! We had lots of ideas from Mr Z to using our initials.

Finally, we had a practice using the fabric paints on small pieces of fabric to develop our skills using the brushes and holding the fabric tight ready for next week when we create our          T-shirts.
