Virtual Street Art

We declare the world as our canvas.

Enduring Understandings:
-Street art is an art movement that is gaining momentum (as shown in Exit Through the Gi.shop). -Street ar9sts use the physical, social, poli9cal, and emo9onal environment of an area to create their work. -Street ar9sts convey a message and/or visually alter a space with their work. -Street ar9sts engage with the public. -Street ar9sts use illegal and legal methods to produce their art. -Ar9sts use Photoshop as a tool to produce their artwork.
