Social Issue Stencil

*  We will study several contemporary artists who either use stencils, performance art, or both

*Along with 2 partners, you will select a Social Issue (social issue is defined as: a problem that influences many citizens, people seek to solve it, has conflicting views on how to solve it) anywhere from the personal to worldwide level 

*Research the social issue.  5 facts and a 6th fact that really surprised you

*Select which position you're taking or what you're trying to say for your Public Service Announcement Poster

*Begin sketching out ideas with limited words, focus on visual symbols to represent your concept

*We will clean up your best idea and turn it into a final master drawing that includes 4 colors

*You will trace a stencil for each color that will be pinned down and sprayed to create a final spray paint PSA poster

*You will videotape your work to include as a performance aspect

The final project featured above also showcases the master drawing and the 3 stencils (brown, green, blue).  You want the part to be open that needs to be that color and everything else to be covered.

Humanitarian is a person who seeks to promote human welfare: a philanthropist

Performance art is an artwork or art exhibition created through actions executed by the artist or other participants. It may be live, through documentation, spontaneously or written, presented to a public in a Fine Arts context, traditionally interdisciplinary.

Watch student performance videos:

https://youtu.be/dPugpbTkLkA   (nice job spray painting, but not really "entertaining")

https://youtu.be/13zCFte4lI0  (entertaining and good usage of speed painting)

You need to submit a 30-45 second video "performing" during your spray paint section of the project.
