Write your name in graffiti lettering

Graffiti is writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed on a wall or other surface in a public place. Did you know graffiti has existed since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, and Rome? In the 1970s there was an explosion on spray-painted graffiti that often think of as graffiti now. 

 

Graffiti artists would have a signature style they would use and a unique "tag" for their names. There is a hand out showing the steps on how to make graffiti lettering as well as a video on how to make graffiti lettering, take these as guidelines and create your own lettering for your name. Then color it with bright bold colors that mimick spray paint. If you want you can illustrate a brick wall behind your lettering as well! 

What you'll need:

Paper, pencil, colored pencil or markers
