JHS Art students had a lot of fun last week during our Street Art unit. Students learned how to use spray paint, poster making, and other awesome mediums to participate in 100% legal street art! They learned about getting permission to do art in public spaces and how professional street artists can work on commission. Every student got to design and cut their own personal logo stencil and then spray paint it to end the project with a personal poster entirely of their own creation! They turned out so well!
