Street interventions

Street InterventionsAim of Session: To learn about several artist that create art in the public

realm interacting with the public in some way .

Your aim today is to create a piece of intervention art in a small group inspired by these artists. If you work with chalk or charcoal it needs to

somewhere inconspicuous and you need to carry water to wash it off with.

Remember this Guerilla art project you are working on will ask you to communicate your ideas in a range of media and where possible through anonymous acts. Everything you create must have a positive effect upon your audience or environment. According to the magazine Adbusters, “Public art says ‘the human spirit is alive here.’” Guerrilla art can be anything you want – an idea, an expression, a movement, an experience, an outlet, a way of connecting, a way of documenting, a challenge, a form of play, a statement, a performance, an attitude, a practice, an improvisation, a ritual.’
