a janitor if you wanna be a dick about it :lol: [/b][/quote] ......... Abba Zabba.... You my only friend.
my school has like the best program in the area, but i think its gay, the art teacher i got was a fuckass, and didnt teach shit so it was gay.
me too. but i dont really know how much it is/ has helped me, but hey no knowledge is bad knowledge i figure all graff is is advertising for yourself, so instead of a billboard or a news paper ad you do a bomb or tag
yeah, graff is advertising in a sense, but it also undermines commercial advertisement at the same time. Taking typography has helped me realize how closely graff is related to traditional type use. I've learned a lot about color theory, and also design/compostion in school.
i started paying alot more attention to letter structure, but i didnt know if it was because of school, or me getting better a graff, or both. being in advertising wouldnt be that bad, i dont htink i can see myself doing it tho. but i guess i dont have much expectation for myself silly low self esteemed me
ha this made my day... how did u find out.. **maybe i should use my first screen name more often so i can get more respect :lol: [/b][/quote] The KALOE link in your sig. I got into graff because of art, so... CHINEESE CALIGRAPHY IS COOL..
unfortunately there's no art major at my community college. i'm also doing the gen ed thing like name said. sadly, i've taken almost all the art courses they offer. it's the one area of schooling that appeals to me. my homeboy was going to art school and just got kicked out for all the bongs/pieces/plants that they found when they searched the room.
art helps different people like before i used to do just blocks for graff but after i took classes (im in one right now im a senior 05 bitches) i found myself open to new ideas and i was more creative instead of trying to get inspiration from other peoples worx of art. it helps u shadow a whole lot better, and ur color schemes come out hella nicer
for all you guys or anoyne reading this who thinks art classes has helped you get better at graff,think you guys could post some of your stuff?
Both sides of my family have backrounds with artists/painters. Both of my aunts on my fathers side are artists. One of them worked for some big college as an art major teacher. And my other aunt just does landscaoes and portraits and lives off of that, but i guess she's a "stranger" ive only met her once and her and my dad dont talk. My mom can paint really good. and my dad, well he cant draw a straight line with a ruler. I've been taking art classes sinice i was little, and i go to a vocational high school now (junior year), and major in Art, So one week i got regular classes, then next week i go to my shop, and well, dont do much, just sit and sketch in my blackbook and roam the forums. I guess its helped. Mostly with just being able to know how to draw, and pencil control. But deffinatley color schemes, and perspective and 3d and shit like that, since they teach you all basic drawing your freshman year. heres something I whipped out a few days ago. (not great but whatever) View attachment 181310 haha sorry for that block of white at the corner. we use photoshop so much in here i get lazy using it.
im an art and music major. graphic design and music production and im also doing an apprenticship at a tattoo shop. just bought my first gun a month ago. shits going good
i could see how an art major would help, but then again i like the fact that i can do what i can, with no formal schooling. i would like to see a comparison of non college hippies to art schoolers. posts of pieces that show all the work. i would start the thread but mine always get closed. oh, and that digital graff looks like shit. i'm sick of ppl saying, "i did this real quick, it's not great but i could do better if i take my time"...no it looks like shit because you didn't pull a pencil and pen out your mom's desk drawer and learn to draw. be creative, be, be creative. toy.
