Social Justice Graffiti Group Project
A High School Level Graphic Design Project
Student Example - Click HERE for a full gallery of student examples
Project Objective:
Students will create a hand drawn graffiti image using graffiti-style lettering, developmental techniques and designs. They will brainstorm thematically on social justice issues, and will have the option to work in a group to emphasize the aspect of community and how graffiti relates to that concept.
Techniques:
● Graffiti-style lettering
● Contour Line
● Color: Color Schemes, Symbolism
● Elements and Principles: Balance, Unity, Line, Symmetry, Pattern, Contrast
Media:
Pencil, Paper, Copic Marker, Chalk Pastel, Acrylic Paint
Concept or Theme:
Students will explore culturally significant styles and techniques used in Graffiti Art. This style will be applied to words of significance (themes such as “Strength,” “Time,” “Love,” etc.) This text will then be supported by supplemental imagery (characters, icons, etc.) and animated for use in web-based applications.
