Today in Art Club we were Guerrilla artists. Guerrilla art is a fun and insidious way of sharing your vision with the world. It is a method of art making which entails leaving anonymous art pieces in public places. It can be done for a variety of reasons, to make a statement, to share your idea's to send out good karma, or just for fun. I am currently fascinated with this and stems from the belief that it is important to make art without any attachment to the outcome.
I was lucky to score some small chemical bottles that the science department was going to throw out. I had the students decorate the bottles and put a small positive message inside. I was super impressed with the creativeness, variety of the art work and the messages- ranging from art work, a poem, a comic or kind words. They then put them in various places on their way home from school. Who knows, maybe you will stumble upon one of these little jems in your journey's around the city!
