We too were discovering usable materials in the world around us as well as personal identity. Our first project at AW as the International Art Group was for students to view graffiti artist such as Bansky, D Face, Swoon, and to team Cyclops & Sweet Toof. The students were then inspired to create their own personal identity tag in the style of street art. They are using a combination of techniques such as painting, stenciling and wheat pasting images onto found sheets of wood.
The Anthony Wayne students have been selected to work personally with the students in Morija. Here is a picture of the lucky students and one of my college students Lauren from the Bowling Green State University who is helping to design the student lessons until mid December. We currently have 33 students ages 11-14. They are standing in front of the Lesotho section of a school mural that was painted by former student in 2009.
The group of 33 meets after school once a week for 90 minutes.
