around the world in 80 minutes

monday {go off the grid}

 

• read through and watch the introduction 

• create tag--a signature of sorts used in forms of public art, like graffiti 

• click on the maps tab at the top of the page

  • begin to explore both world maps

  • one map has google-produced images of street art. there are hundreds of locations to explore--take as much or as little time as you need to discover these pieces

  • the other map has pins on it that are hyperlinked to photojournalistic websites about the people who live in some of these cultures

  • while you're exploring, try to see if you can find connections between the culture, works of art, and people in every region you visit 

  • questions to consider (remember, there is no right or wrong answer to any of these questions)

    • how are some artists able to create such elaborate street art on public property?

    • do you think they got permission to make their art or do you think they took the risk of making it without permission? why?

    • does a city influence its art or does art influence its city?
