This street art depicts a child wearing a gas mask while carrying a backpack along with the quote "if at first you don't succeed - call an airstrike". This art is graffiti with red and black paint. It is located in San Francisco, CA.]]> 2018-10-19 19:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/294987559 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/294990197 Overall, the design is fairly simple with only two colours of paint used; although the art still draws a lot of attention with the style used. The first part featuring the child is very "clean" with crisp lines, shading, and detail. The text however is in a large, messy font in bright red. The design is very bold and unquestionably takes the eyes of pedestrians.]]> 2018-10-19 19:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/294990197 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/294995225 This street art recognizes America as being an "airstrike-happy country" (Kim, E. 2010). This would refer to the perception that America jumps to war too quickly, with few previous attempts at making peace. Showing just how far America will go to be successful or "Number One". Something that causes so much devastation, that is so easily accessible. The message is directed towards Americans as they pass by, to open their eyes as to what goes on in other countries. America has a budget of about $600B in defence for 2018, although sometimes numbers are not enough to make an impact. Banksy uses graffiti to make a visual representation of the impact war makes on future generations.]]> 2018-10-19 19:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/294995225 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295008591 This street art is located near the top of a building at the intersection of Broadway and Columbus in San Francisco, California. Being far above the ground makes it easily visible in this high traffic environment, drawing attention from people passing by]]> 2018-10-19 20:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295008591 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295011205 Born in 1974, Banksy was raised in Bristol, United Kingdom. His work advanced from the Bristol underground scene, a collaboration between musicians and artists. He was inspired by a fellow graffiti artist under the name 3D.]]> 2018-10-19 20:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295011205 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295117994 The child wearing a gas mask while carrying a backpack. This is what makes a large affect on those passing by. A child heading to school in a war filled country who is all too familiar with the situation. Or, the future of America, young children taking mental notes of what is wrong and right. Constantly hearing of America bombing other nations. Believing that war is normal.]]> 2018-10-20 21:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295117994 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295119402 The word "airstrike" adds lots of affect to the artwork. Banksy could have wrote "start a war". But that statement is too dull. Something about the word "airstrike" makes it real, something that you can easily imagine in your mind. Another factor is that this airstrike is only a call away. Portraying just how common of an occurrence it is that they call airstrikes.]]> 2018-10-20 21:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295119402 bkuhnle8 https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295120981 Overall, the artwork is very effective with its boldness and ability to affect those passing by. It is situated in a high populated environment, perfect for getting attention. The child depicted in the art and use of the word "airstrike" in the quote is very bold and was a strong choice by Banksy in the creation of this street art.]]> 2018-10-20 22:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bkuhnle8/4o1lfnj7q3hy/wish/295120981
