Guerrilla Art

• Guerrilla art, also referred to as "street art", is a method of art making where the artist leaves anonymous art pieces in public places. It is often an installation in an unauthorized location. It is a way for an artist to express their views and opinions to a large audience in an anonymous way. In contrast to popular belief, guerrilla art does not have to be done with spray paint.

Aim and Objectives of session

• To understand the concept of Guerrilla art

• To work as a team

• To develop communication skills

• To carry out practical research and experiment with the technique of wrapping with several different materials.

• To document this practice and create at least two pages in your sketchbook about it.

Urban Curators The goal of the Urban Curators

project is to engage the public in

the celebration of the decaying

urban environment, recog-

nizing its inherent aesthetic

qualities as well as the

important role that it plays within

our cultural habitat. The project

achieves its goal by elevating

common, overlooked objects

and spaces within the city of

Providence, Rhode Island to the

level of high art.
