Origins&Pol of Graffiti&St Art
The Origins and Politics of Graffiti and Street Art
Since its emergence in Philadelphia and New York City in the late 60s and 70s, graffiti writing has evolved into the most dynamic art form in urban culture to date, with global popularity. Through readings, films, and discussions, students will delve into the history, language, and techniques of graffiti writing, its evolution to street art, the role street art plays in the gentrification of blighted inner city areas, and the rise of arts districts through commodification of the art form. Students will also get to design and produce their own “tag” names, or nom de plume, utilizing techniques learned.
