Learn about graffiti, street art, and illusions.
Create street art illusions and learn about shadowing, highlighting, and perspective in art.

","materials","

For each student, prepare:
- Graffiti markers
- Sidewalk chalk (if doing this as an outdoor activity, on sidewalks or pavement)
For the class, prepare:
- Vibrant paint in a variety of colors (including black)
- black markers
- cameras or cell phones for photographs
- cameras or cell phones for photographs
- optional: canvas (if doing this as indoor activity) or boxes (if wanting to create a tunnel effect)
- \"63 Mind Blowing 3D Street Art Illusions Compilation\" video, and way for students to watch this 5 min. video.

63 Mind Blowing 3D Street Art Illusions Compilation

","steps","

Ask students what they know about graffiti and allow students to discuss. Ask students what they know about illusions and encourage discussion. Make sure students understand that graffiti is writing or drawings displayed in a public place without authorization; and Illusions are things that appear to be what they are not. Tell students that they will create illusions with art.
Have students watch the video about graffiti illusions. Ask them to look for ways that artists used to make flat pictures look like they are 3-dimensional (they have height above ground or depth below ground).
Ask students to talk about what the illusions are in some of the images. Encourage students to discuss the techniques the artists used to show 3 dimensions. Rewind to different spots and encourage students to see the shadowing, highlighting, and perspective (things look small when far away, and larger when close-up) techniques.
Show the attached photographs to students and ask them to think of an illusion that they would like to create (with sidewalk chalk or paint on outside sidewalks or pavement, or indoors with markers or paint). They can recreate one of the attached photographic illusions or choose to create their own.
Ask students to collect their materials and create a sketch of their project. Have the example photographs available for students’ reference. Tell them this is “practice” so that they can figure out solutions for any problems. Collect sketches at the end of this session.
In session 2, ask students to recall the previous session's activities and return their sketches to them. Then, ask students to gather their materials and to find an outside workspace for their illusion art. Have cameras available for students to take photos when their work is complete.
When everyone is done, gather students and ask for their thoughts about the activity.
- What was difficult?
- What was fun?
- What techniques did they enjoy using?
While students work, walk around, express encouragement and acknowledge techniques (shadowing, highlighting, perspective). Encourage students to look at the work of others and to share ideas.
