Has this lesson changed your thoughts about this? Describe some local graffiti you may have seen in your area of the world.

Slide 15 - Question ouverte

What does the future of graffiti look like? Read the quote below and respond on the following slide.
 “Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colors and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet.”
                                                                                                     (Banksy, Wall and Piece)

Slide 17 - Question ouverte

What can we apply about our knowledge of postmodernism in the arts to study the form (genre and style) of Banksy?
Postmodernism questions reality and “progress”, and turns it upside down (subverts), just like Banksy subverts not only the art world but also social roles (rich vs. poor, soldier vs. little girl, snow represented as pollution)
By breaking all the rules and in the process he encourages you (“the people”) to do the same.
Subversive: changing, inverting the system, the establishment, the political power
Use of irony (visual sarcasm) and hyperbole (extreme exaggeration)


Slide 18 - Diapositive

  • Shocking, unidentifiable, responsive “to the now”, ever-changing, dynamic (as the art is susceptible to change/being covered up by the authorities)
  • Satirical 
  • Pranking the art establishment, subverting then by questioning what art is/should be (illegal process, for example—“stretching the boundaries of genre and form”, for the everyman!—critiquing the art and film industry themselves, not just society)
  • Mysterious identity (not about the artist so much as the art—Death of the Author commentary?

How do we know something qualifies as art?
Generally speaking people use three criteria to define if something is ART

These three criteria are useful for analysing any text, visual or written.

There are two good documentaries on the work of Banksy. 
1. Exit through the Gift Shop from 2011, by Banksy. Next slide.
