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.
