Level-   3
Class Size- 15 students

Objective: After viewing the video on graffiti and discussing the history of graffiti, students will create a graffiti wall in the classroom that contains drawings/descriptive words/phrases that represent their homeland.

A.   MATERIALS NEEDED:
1.     Large rolls of paper that can be used to tape on one entire wall in the room.   These rolls are usually in all schools and can be found in the supply room or check with the art teacher. There are usually multiple colored rolls. Choose what colors you would like for your graffiti wall in your room.
2.     Get many colored pens/colored chalk, or markers for the students to use for their graffiti wall.   Get tape to use to tape your paper to your wall in your room.
3.     Always set guidelines for the graffiti wall before beginning. Discuss this with the class members. No profanity or lewd, suggestive drawings. This is in the school community and we must adhere to school policy.

II.                CLASS SET: (Procedure)

1.     What is “graffiti?”
2.     Where do we find graffiti?   Is graffiti art? Could we describe graffiti as a ‘piece of art?’
3.     Open this link for the class via teacher computer link on overhead.

4.     Point out the various types of graffiti that are shown on the site: piece, character, street art, etc. Move the mouse over some of the pieces and the pieces are from around the world. (Spain, France, Italy, etc.)

6.     Teacher will create her own word wall (graffiti)sample on the overhead and share it with the students. The word wall will contain descriptive words and drawings of her home state: Kentucky. (Horses, mountains, THE BLUEGRASS STATE, a horseshoe, a basketball). There are FIVE.
7.     The teacher will then show a written paragraph about her home state.

Paragraph:   My home state is Kentucky and it is known as “The Bluegrass State” because of the lush grass and beautiful country side that has a mountain range called the Appalachian Mountains running through the state. My state is known for horses because we have the Kentucky Derby here. It is also known for being a state that values the sport of basketball because the University of Kentucky has won so many National Championships.
ASSIGNMENT:
A.   In groups of three:   Create your graffiti wall from a section of the graffiti wall in the classroom. Be creative and choose words, phrases, and drawings that represent your homeland. You must be precise and use FIVE words, phrases or drawings for your portion of the graffiti wall. That is FIVE each. This means that your portion will have a total of FIFTEEN in your graffiti section.

B.   After completing your graffiti wall you will write a paragraph describing your homeland using the words or phrases to describe the art piece.
