Idea's behind the Project

I have decided to learn how to create graffiti for my arts journey project. The reason behind this idea is my personal connection because I have an interest in photography and in particular, capturing photographs of graffiti. I want to explore the “other side” of my photography by being able to create the graffiti and take some photographs of my own work.

The subject of my graffiti is yet to be decided, although I would like to incorporate both images and text. Some possible ideas could be using images and text that represents me and that inspire me.

The way that graffiti is portrayed in society is generally negative because a lot of people see it as not being art but instead, vandalism. I believe graffiti speaks of the influence and need for more art to liven up our often bleak urban world and I would like to portray this through my work.
