Topic: Street Documentary
Think about the vocabulary and the concepts from the book chapters. As you watch the video and see the work think about how your vocabulary words might be applied to describe and analyze the art and the ideas being expressed.
Think about formal analysis, contextual analysis, and biographical analysis.
Skip ahead to chapter 1.10 to read more on this. But mostly, have fun and just write as you would speak in your own voice having a reaction to art and ideas that are new to you.
Watch one of these street art documentaries and write a one page reaction to the movie you choose. You may have to select and copy and then paste into an address bar. If you choose the short ones do several of them.
If you choose a 1 hour or more video just do one. If one leads you to other videos, fall down the rabbit hole and discuss about it in your paper. Google and Wikipedia for additional content on the art and artists in these videos before you start writing your thoughts and reactions.
Something useful to consider when analyzing this kind of art is “it IS illegal, should it be? are there exceptions? Can you compare it to art from other context?”
Something useful to consider is “are there non-street artists from earlier periods in art history, from the renaissance, from the 1960’s, from the 1920’s, from the 1830’s that may have influenced art that is happening now?
That is influencing street art?”
