Teen Wall Art Decor, Graffiti Canvas Art

October 30th, 2009

Diy Teens Wall Art Decor Project, decorating projects ideas for teens.

Article by: Madeleine M Langlois

Miy Project: Teen wall art decor “Graffiti Paris Canvas Art”

My teenage son’s graffitilike text on paper and book covers gave me the idea of asking him to make an artwork peice for a decor exhibit I took part in. His contribution was the word Paris in graffitilike text done in pastels on a box-style canvas.

I wanted to share with other teens and mom with teens to encourage their teens in their art form, and that it can be acheive on many other surfaces besides walls.

Hands-on time: An hour or more, depending on detail.

Total time:Plus drying time for varnish.

Skill: this miy teen wall art decor project idea is of easy to moderate skill depending on the details.

Materials & Tools:

•Artist canvas (17.8 x 17.8 centimetres) 3D box-style

•Oil pastels in assorted colours (many brands available, try a few samples)

•Pencil

•Drawing paper and graphite paper

•Graffiti design

•Masking tape

•Permapaque artist markers by Sakura

•Grey and white eraser

•Cloth

•Workable fixative by Krylon

MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE AT ARTS AND CRAFTS STORES or on line.

MIY INSTRUCTIONS:Art is a great way to interact with teens and encourage self-expression and creativity.

Using a style they’re familiar with is even better. What’s essential with this project is that it is done in the same spirit as graffiti — free-flowing expression captured on canvas.

Art is a great way to interact with teens and encourage self-expression and creativity. Using a style they’re familiar with is even better. What’s essential with this project is that it is done in the same spirit as graffiti –free-flowing expression captured on canvas.

Preprimed canvas is ideal for graffitilike art. On paper, draw or write words (in our case it was the word Paris) to use as a template. With a pencil, draw the text on the canvas or transfer it onto the canvas using graphite paper. Cut out the word from the sheet of paper. Cut a piece of graphite paper in the same size. Put graphite paper under the cutout word and secure with masking tape. Use a pencil or pen to trace the design onto the canvas.

Colour the word or text in three or four colours of pastels, shading in areas around the edges of the letters. Use scrap pieces of paper to practice shading first, if preferred. Glide pastels smoothly onto the canvas and lift the tips as soon as the lines are finished. You can use a cloth or your fingers to blend the colours. Use a wide marker for the outlines. Add a colour border around the letters.

The background is left white. Use the grey part of eraser to remove pencil, graphite lines or pastel smudges.To protect the artwork from dust and smudges, spray on fixative in a side-to-side motion. It fixes the pastels without leaving a glossy finish. Several coats can be applied. Let dry between each coat.

Variations: Use different sizes of canvases to let your teen create his or her mini art gallery. Larger canvases placed side by side have impact. Smaller canvases are perfect for personalized tags. For younger children, create a montage to add colour to a bare wall. Paint several canvases, each in a different solid colour: yellow, blue, green, etc. Then let children doodle on them, using pastels in assorted bright colours. Thick wax crayons or washable markers can also be used. This is a great activity for a birthday party.If your teen wants to do larger frames with spray paints, be sure they work in a well-ventilated area and wear a protective mask. Spray paint fumes are toxic.

Documentation of Banksy Canvas Art, Testament to Growing Popularity

October 6th, 2009

Banksy has exhibited an innate ability to depict society in its truest form. Yet, he remains elusive and reclusive as ever before. People from across the world love Banksy canvas art and have started documenting it through various means.

Collectible art

Such is the fame and widespread appeal of Banksy that people across the world have started documenting his works. Whether it is in the form of tattoos, prints, photographs, posters or collected prints, his works have a massive fan following not just within London but also throughout the world.

Geographical restrictions

One of the biggest drawbacks of being a fan of Banksy canvas art is that you either have to be in London or other major cities across the world to see his works in real. Otherwise, you just have to make do with appreciating his works from a distance. Therefore, given the geographical restrictions of these places, people have started collecting his works through the forms of tattoos, collectible art, photographs and prints. In this manner, people can stay loyal to their beloved artist Banksy even when they are located miles away. Many ardent admirers and fans of Banksy canvas art even have customised tattoos on their bodies.

A rare and fleeting work

One of the reasons for the increased documentation of Banksy canvas art is because of its fleeting nature. The fact that Banksy makes his paintings on street walls, bridges and other common places and that his work falls within the category of Graffiti art makes his works be at the mercy of society. Many people, rival artists, contemporaries and ordinary people have destroyed several works created by the genius artist. Banksy canvas art has therefore become a rarity of sorts. Even people in London can never be sure how long a Banksy canvas art work will remain on the walls. It could just be destroyed within a few days. This is another reasons fans of Banksy’s works have started documenting them to make them a part of public memory forever.

Works on sale

Though Banksy himself prefers to remain elusive and rather reclusive, his works have resulted in massive sales. Celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Brad Pitt and the like have bought his paintings for huge amounts. In addition, his paintings have been shown in various high-end galleries, although Banksy himself prefers Banksy canvas art works to be displayed on the streets, their true place of belonging. Various collectors from across the globe purchase authentic Banksy canvas art at huge prices. Even if one has a Banksy creation as a portion of their wall décor or as individual drawings and objects, they have found tremendous resale value for such items.

Camera-shy person

Banksy is perhaps one of the few artists who choose to remain reclusive. Even the few videos of him working on the streets have blurred out the face. The media craves to get interviews from this celebrated artist but usually, the interviews are carried out on a remote basis. Banksy canvas art is a rarity and an exclusive piece to have. If you are a collector or appreciate fine art then you will know that Banksy canvas art is truly priceless!
