Street Art Walking Tour with Ryan Watkins-Hughes

Ryan talks about the use of stickers.















And the use of wheat pasting.















Tahj takes a closer look.




















Layering art.















Non-traditional methods of creating street art.

I think that the place were we put our work was too public and by that it got stolen or taken down. we should had put it in a place were not so many people could see it. I be leave that what we did was illegal. Also i think is kind of rood and disrespectful for other people to be placing their work on top of other people's work unless their is no were else that they can put their work.

Questions

• Some places where I think you can put art work in the public are on brick walls, poles (light poles, crossing sign poles, & lamps) and on the sidewalk.
• I don't think its a good idea to draw, write, and/or paint over another persons art work. I feel this way because the person that did the original work might be trying to get a point through someone and if someone comes and cover it up with there work that point is not going to get through.
• Some styles of art are graffiti, using stickers, posters, billboards, and morals.
• Art VS. vandalism: I think art is expressing yourself in a form of paintings, graffiti and/or pictures. However, I think vandalism is expressing yourself on peoples private property.

Sound Box in action

Here we were hanging the sound box on the pole. Many kids past this way. There was one kid who saw what we were doing and decided to try it. He followed the steps and hopefully heard the message....

Free Telephone

This invention took a lot of sweat, hard work and a lot of creativity from my partner and I and my corresponding co-workers . This invention is suppose to be a free phone. We invented this because some people actually think that things are free in this world so we just wanted the public to know that it is not. When you crank this machine up, the message that you hear is "Ha, Ha, Ha, you thought I was free". As we went up to install the "Free Phone" in the telephone booth, we had some technical difficulties. We had to find a way to the phone on the telephone, without having it fall or have someone take it and run. So we took like at least 20 minutes to install a wire through the phone connecting it to the phone booth so that it won't mysteriously leave the booth.

A Global Warming Massage

This is basically a sound box that is able to record and already has a recording inside for the public sayings. Don't litter and help prevent global warming. The reason for this massage is because people, Society, and the world it self is lacking the acknowledgment is happening. We were all reminded about the problem with global warming through out the project that's why we decided that topic.

Sound Box

This sound box was decorated to attract kids. We put it in a park where mostly kids go. The message sent out to these children is to have fun in life and live it to the fullest. We chose this message so that children can experience things without looking back and regretting what they didn't do in their lives. It was the perfect place to let kids know this message.
