EXPLORING STREET ART IN ATLANTA

Dive into Atlanta’s street art scene this Spring. This 6-week course includes a mix of talks, mixed media projects, and field trips.
Week 1: Intro to Street Art Lecture - an urban art scholar gives an overview of Atlanta’s evolving cityscape.
Week 2: ATL Street Art Tour - see iconic works and learn about the artists, techniques & social commentary.
Week 3: Is Graffiti Art? Workshop - take a closer look at graffiti and arguments for and against its merits.
Week 4: Graffiti Painting- make your mark (legally) with the guidance of a graffiti teaching artist.
Week 5: Artist Studio - meet the muralist behind several works and learn about their creative process.
Week 6: Public Art Installation - join an artist to work on a public mural using either paint or chalk.

NOTE: Classes will be held at Spruill AND Atlanta locations. Students will meet at Spruill for the first class and receive a syllabus with meeting locations, such as East Atlanta, Castleberry Hill and Old Fourth Ward Skatepark, for subsequent classes.

Upon completion of the course students will receive a Digital Certificate with a Street Art Resource Guide and images of your completed projects – a graffiti piece and outdoor mural.
