Banksy Inspired Art

As part of our Art and Change Makers inquiry unit this term we have been looking at the UK artist Banksy. We learnt that his graffiti art often had a social or political message behind it. We then came up with our own designs based on an issue that is current and relevant to us. Some students did their design based on a school issue, some looked at the Olympics, some looked at issues NZ are facing at the moment and some looked at wider world issues. We then made a stencil of our design - this was rather tricky! Finally we spray painted our stencil designs onto our 'brick wall'.

See if you can figure out some of the 'social messages' behind our designs.
