rynlingA Beginner's Guide to Street Art
https://lu.ma/53ks8h33
Come learn the basics of how to do two street art methods: stickering and wheatpasting. We'll cover practical how-tos for creating and install stickers and wheatpastes and considerations for messaging within your work.
This hour-long class is free to watch on Zoom tonight (March 3) at 8pm Eastern. At 8pm I'm either outside writing (if it's warm) or sitting in the bath playing video games (if it's not), but I'll do my best to tune in. I'm too much of a coward to actually do street art,* but I'm curious about how it's done. The presenter, a professional science educator, is more of a writer than an artist, but I'm interested in her thoughts about how to combine words and images into an effective message.
* I do my "guerilla gardening" (ie, watering street trees and planting flowers) during normal daylight hours. Like an adult with a job. And also like someone who's invested in looking like I know what I'm doing, and like I have every right to do it. I don't fuck around in Philadelphia after dark lmao.**
** This city has lots of nocturnal critters. And that's not a euphemism, don't be silly. I mean literal bats and possums and raccoons. Although also there are police, and I definitely don't want to harassed by armed men who don't have the good sense to mind their own business.
ETA: Yeah, I didn't make it. Idk man, I wake up early to write before I go to work, and by 8pm I'm in no mood for a Zoom call. During the daylight-savings months I can party until dawn, but I should probably stop kidding myself about how mentally and emotionally available I am after dark during the no-sunlight months.
