Graffiti Names

5th graders learned about the positives and negatives of Graffiti art. We watched part of a short video from PBS about how graffiti art has impacted the art world and how it has evolved. Students were able to use the laptop minis to experiment with different styles of graffiti from a wonderful graffiti wesbsite, www.graffiticreator.net . From their they translated their computer art into 2d art. They did awesome! Below is the link to the video.
