Hey guys,
I do not expect you all to read this for next week, it's an incredibly long text (part of a book or thesis), but I really enjoyed reading it and I think it really informed some ideas I've been having about street art and pedagogy and where my interest are when I am developing my thesis questions. Take a look at some of the ideas he supposes. He creates a social and historical context for street art and Grafitti (as opposed to vandalism).

And again, this is not the text I am gonna focus on for next week discussion facilitation. So stay tuned! I'll put that article up by tomorrow night.
If you're interested in graffiti and street art, you really need to talk with Miguel Aguilar. Have you met him already. Devan? If not, I can put you in touch with him. He's an MAT as well.
ReplyDeletecool! I have not met him, but sounds like I could learn some stuff. I'll look for him @ our next Art Ed meeting
