I thought that this was a very cool way to learn more about street art and graffiti. I found it interesting how each person in the play had their own ideas and turned it into one creative masterpiece. They all knew that what they were doing was risky but that didn't stop them and to me, that was very powerful. One quote that I really liked the play "This Is Modern Art was said by Seven; " nature got you undercover…its an illegal blanket” (Covel 65). I loved this quote because it described how all four of them relied on weather to help them stay undercover and hidden from being caught. 
One of the main questions I focused on was what will happen next for the kids. The play ended in an abrupt way and I wanted to learn more about what they did after they "bombed" the Art Institute. I thought that it was cool how a lot of the classes got to talk to Paul Rameriz and here the truth about the way he used to live and his own experience. Overall I think my point of view on graffiti and street art, and what it means to be an artist have really changed. I think that I will appreciate all of these things more knowing that a lot of work and risk goes into it. ]]> 2018-02-26 19:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/186241/p760j6y64jxy/wish/235576724 186241 https://padlet.com/186241/p760j6y64jxy/wish/237159218 2018-03-01 19:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/186241/p760j6y64jxy/wish/237159218
