Mark making and the narrative
Mark making refers to story telling- a narrative about the historical context, passing on a story and the artist themselves
The manner and application of the art also reflects the artist and the period
Create 2 stories
One using the indigenous symbolsOne using your symbols detailing
something from your life-E.g. how you got to school, a trip you went on, etc.
Contemporary graffiti- week 2
Grew out of the hip hop culture in NY in the 1970s- part of the four elements of the culture- breakdancing, graffiti, Mcing and Djing
How are these four elements reflected on other cultures- consider indigenous Australian culture. Cave painting, dance, song, instruments.
Tagging/Pieces
Tagging- refer to applying your name/tag in a quick manner
A piece is a more detailed and colourful artworkThrow-ups- A quick piece, usually characterised
by “bubble” lettering with little detailBeing “All City” was the aim of early graffiti
artists, applying their artwork to as many trains as possible so that people across the city could see their art/name.
Out for fame
To what degree do you believe contemporary graffiti artists are “out for fame” or to convey a pertinent social message?

Gouache Layered Painting Instructions Paint lines and shapes from the music
and internal direction. No real images to be painted. No houses, love hearts
etc. In layers, you must use some of all the
colours placed out (even if it is only one dot)
Keep to your individual process. Do not compare yourself to others. We are trying to create unique artworks. Do not comment on others artworks or make
suggestions to them. They must have their own process. The fourth layer remains. Take time to reflect on the shapes and lines
that draw you (your own subconscious). Look at the painting from all sides, which direction feels right? Bring those particular images out. The images can be real (eg face) or abstract (eg patterns, lines etc). Be true to your developing style and mark making (do you tend to blend or have solid colour?). You will be allowed to use black and white in the final layer.
You might only outline images or you might completely repaint the images…
It is ok to not like the end product. Hopefully you learn something in the PROCESS that you can take into further work…
