Workshop with Carlos

Workshop with Carlos

Finally we've found the time to publish our article and we're sorry for keeping you waiting until now!
Firstly, in case you're interested in Carlos' work - who is also known as "Kid Crow" - then please visit his website, his blog or his facebook page!
And now let's start!

_____



Our workshop began on Thursday morning, ten o' clock. We gathered inside our art classroom at school where Carlos first introduced himself and told us a little bit about where he's coming from and what his work mainly comprises. He intended to teach us about different styles, tools and materials.

After that, we started our "street art day" with a dicussion about what is graffiti for you at all?

Everyone of us was given a small name tag and after having introduced ourselves to Carlos we were supposed to explain what the term of "graffiti" actually means to us.

It turned out that we all had various opinions as to what "graffiti" could imply.

Our answers differed from fascinating, unknown and individual to criticsm, diversity, self-expression and illegality. Carlos showed interest in each point of view, here and there explaining a few things he was going to dig into later on.

Meeting a local artist

Meeting a local artist

Hello Guys!  

On Thursday, April 23, we met a local artist called "Carlos."
He showed  us some of his techniques, how he works and we also produced some of our own paintings/art items with him.
We made sure to make lots of notes and took pictures so that in the end we will be able to create an article about that special day and what we experienced for our blog and for you!
We're now concentrating on elaborating the article to bring our experiences to you as quick as possible.

Until then!
And remember: BE STREET ART!

Introduction

Introduction

Hello everybody!
What a pleasure to see that you've found your way to our little blog!
I want to take this opportunity to introduce to you the basic idea of our blog.
We're a group of ten young adults at the Gymnasium - something you'd call the secondary school - at Feuchtwangen, Bavaria.
All of us are participating in a project which involves organizing our own exhibition with self-produced items as well as publishing several articles about different Street Art artists, Scenes and techniques.
Said articles will be published one after the other here on our blog.
In the end, we'll be producing our own documentary about all these experiences.
We are going to meet a local artist, we'll be working with him and we hope we'll be allowed to film some of his/our work.
Moreover this blog will always be updated as soon as we have some news, concerning i.e. the exhibition.
Now let me introduce myself.
My name's Franziska, I'm 17 years old and I'm the administrator of our blog, so to speak. Together with two other friends from this project group, Jeanine and Christian, I am responsible for i.e. translating the articles, keeping our readers up-to-date and all that stuff.
I have to admit, however, that I've never done this before. I've never created a blog or anything in that direction ever before, none of us have.
That's why I'm apologizing for everything that might go wrong or look "strange" in any way beforehand.
We all have to work our way into this before we can start trying to do this as professional as possible.
If you have any tips or advice concerning that, please feel free to let us know through the comments ^.^
Okay, I guess that's it!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, we don't bite ;D
Free Hugs for all of you!
And always remember - BE STREET ART!
