An Unselfish Act: Graffiti in Art Education
Eldridge, Laurie A.
Art Education, v66 n5 p21-27 Sep 2013
Graffiti artist Sentrock sees his graffiti as a selfless act, a way of giving back to the community--when done legally--and inspires a group of middle school students. This is a case study of an artist and educator who teaches about graffiti art in public schools. He is unique in that he delineates between graffiti art and vandalism, and teaches about this delineation. Graffiti as a form of vandalism is a common sight in the neighborhoods surrounding the school where the author teaches, and some had occurred on school property. The author teaches visual art at a low-income, predominantly Hispanic school near Phoenix, Arizona.
