“PELLICO”
We explored ( Web and videos) famous street artists and learn about what they do( for example the British contemporary street artist Banksy). With children discussed how street art and graffiti are considered illegal and often associated with gangs and gang violence. However, as with Banksy, there is often some real art and skill involved and artists often make a political or social statement, rather than violence.
We explored a lot of beautiful paintings in Torino and Moncalieri. Our children found the real meaning of a street artist work looked for the hidden/true message the street artist wanted to send. They found the difference between the meaning of “vandalism”(to dirty a wall ) and the real beauty and importance of works made to enrich and colour anonymous and empty spaces. Each student tried to realize a project of a Street Artist work. Next year this project could be realized by the students at school. In our school building, outside, there are a lot of empty walls. All the students worked with enthusiasm and engagement at the activities.
