The smell of aerosol lines the hall, as do geometric patterns in almost every array of color and shape. Most would not search out the hard to find hot spots of urban culture, but this year it has been brought to our front door (for the education department at least) with the help of Douglas Fogle and by the hands of Barry McGee. Although many hold the debate between vandalism and art, many before us have been inspired to leave our mark on public walls going back from present day underpasses to paintings with charcoal on cave walls. Within this sect of mark makers lie a species of creative types that bring color and imagination to places of cold urban infrastructure that otherwise would be left in decay. Many of our students (and teachers) are enamored by this aesthetic style and therefore it is the perfect stepping stone into a wide array of discussions from the Elements and Principles of design to Critical and Aesthetic Response. In order to foster astounding creativity we must find platforms which resonate with our students. This vivid installation is just such an occasion. I don't think you will have to work very hard to get them truly engaged in discussion about this particular artist.

Agreed Chris - you answered my questions about graffiti and the discussions in the classroom. McGee's museum work is the perfect solution. What about critique of other artists work in its environment?
