OPDAC: GRAFFITI STYLE ART: create your own!
We will be creating our own graffiti & street art paintings (not on buildings.) But we will be inspired by the scratched, scrawled, curving, inventive, colorful lines and shapes used to create this art. Working on large paper with a variety of materials, we will create images worthy of any brick wall in the city!
Graffiti has excited since ancient times with examples going back to ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. who know maybe the cave paintings were even the very first tags. There is something very human about street art, it screams “I AM HERE!”
The work its very immediate both

The controversy is: it is vandalism or art?
