Andy Goldsworthy

Reverse Graffiti

Humans of Maple Shade

Gus-(he has been the boy scout leader for many years) i asked him what his most favorite memory is.
After taking a while to think about it he said "I have to think about this" then he finally said "when i get to wake up the boy scout and we sing songs together.  Or when the boys woke me up by singing to me"

I walk into a boy scout meeting and see all of the boys running around and playing.  I ask them, "why do you love being boys scouts?"
they respond with "because of the camping, projects,activities, games, the nature, whittling, wilderness, the friends you make, (one kid says because of the lighting.) After i took the photo, the kids began to run around and play again. 

Lou-Ann-"when you love and you know your are loved"

Lisa-"i love being a girl scout leader"

Ed-"fish"

Reverse Graffiti

FACTC ABOUT REVERSE GRAFFITI:

1. English artist Paul Curtis aka Moose is one of the first street artists to make an art piece using the reverse graffiti technique.
2. He discovered the technique at his dishwashing job, as he explains in his documentary
3. Because reverse graffiti is temporary, may be biodegradable, and generally uses no hard materials such as ink, paper, or harsh chemicals, and because it generally does not use electricity to back or front light, reverse graffiti can be an environmentally friendly way of advertising.
4. There have been several instances of authorities attempting to prosecute those performing this form of advertising, but prosecution has been difficult due to the temporary and non-destructive nature of the practice
5. In the Netherlands one needs to have a permit for commercial advertisements in a public space even though nothing is being destroyed by this kind of graffiti.

Humans of New York

"I’m not a ham. I’m the whole pig." 

This boy was part of a group of four zombies. When I asked for a group portrait, the other three zombies seemed reluctant. The boy, however, immediately hit the floor. “Plans have changed,” I said. “Everybody else out of the shot.” 

"We’ve been best friends since 1967."

I found this little guy in the pumpkin patch at the Queens County Farm Museum. All those pumpkins gave me a great idea for a portrait. I thought it was a great idea. His mom thought it was a great idea. His dad thought it was a great idea. Only one person didn't like the idea. 

This little guy was riding on a crowded Staten Island Railroad car when he shouted: “Hey everybody! I’m three years old! And my mom is seventy years old!” Somebody on the other side of the car shouted back: “Can I get the name of mom’s lotion?”

          JR with the Inside Out movement and Brandon Stanton's with the Humans of New York are two similar but very different projects. JR takes a picture of the persons face and makes large copies. Then he pastes them to walls. Brandon Stanton takes photos of people and shares their story with the world. Both these artist started as street performers and worked their way up. Both of them work to send a message to the people.

Laylah Ali in "Power"

        Laylah Ali watched a lot of cartoons as a child. So because of this she thought of art a 2D.  When Ali would get newspapers, she would cut them up and file them into her filing system. Ali  keeps a very organised notebook with everything she needs to get done in it. She never mixes her brushes.  Ali has a different brush for every color. Sometimes she will put tape in her brushes so they won't get mixed up.

   

       Everything Ali does is planned before hand. She goes through every little detail before starting.  Her work is very abstract.  Laylah Ali loves to bring life to her characters.

                                                                ENVIRONMENT 

Which to you prefer?

      This is my Google Doodle.  I did the environment.  I chose this because I feel that the environment is a big problem in the world today.  The Earth is so polluted and dirty that some places are even unbreathable.  If i could invent anything to change the world it would be something to make the environment, our home, a better place to live and grow.  So I ask you, which world do you prefer?
