street art and graffiti has become more mainstream in media be it in a positive and or negative way.

‘Teenagers are ruining this country’. I’m sure this is a thought a lot of you pension have thought but that's not the case. Street art, graffiti and the youth of east London. These subjects have become entwined over the past years which a lot of you may not like. Young people today have become more interested in fine art because of graffiti and with the increased popularity of street art and music artists like rudimental are using the Dalston Peace Carnival Mural in hackney in east London have shown a light on graffiti in a good way. Rudimental are not the only people that the youth of east London are watching and taking inspiration from artists like Cartrian who is a local resident to the east London borough of Leytonstone.

Street art and graffiti has been around for a long time. Teenagers from this generations and past generation have use graffiti as a way of expressing themselves. Some may say that graffiti is bad as it ruins the aesthetic of many areas in east London. Some may also say it makes the areas look trashy and or poorer because of that. The youth of east London may disagree with these statements. As many know youth clubs in East London have been closing for many years now. This leaves the youth of East London to their own devices as people who were in Youth clubs before close said it did keep them out of trouble. Since there is no other way for the youth of East London to express them self-many say that graffiti and street art is needed although it didn’t look very nice.                                  

Famous music Artists like rudimental use graffiti and street art in a positive light unlike the way it's betrayed in the media. Rudimental used the Dalston Peace Carnival Mural in hackney in east London for their album cover for their first album called Home. The use of street art on a album cover not only show how Times are changing and because of that street art and graffiti is now shown as acceptable album cover art it also shows people that the rudimental are born and breed in hackney and where is no better way of showing that other they showing something that has been a part of history in hackney since the 1980’s. Action like these are the reasons why graffiti and street art have been shown in a positive light over the past years. This just shows how graffiti sure be done, in a place where people approve and with great artist how know what they are doing.

“Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations.” Be it good or bad, graffiti and street are here to stay if people like it or not graffiti is a way of expressing yourself and if we were to continue to charge minors for minor crimes like graffiti and street art they we are a community would continue to ruin hundreds of teenagers lives for years with criminal records and the only crimes that they committed was the crime of expression. Graffiti may not always look the best but we are have to agree that you would not like to see your grandson or granddaughter in jail for a petty crime like spray painting something. So when you call for harsher penalty on minors who do graffiti think about your little grandchild being jail. I’m sure that will change you opinion of the matter.

‘The government is wrong’ this is something that a young person is use to saying a lot. It is hard to understand why a bunch of old rich people get to decide what we young people do it’s just wrong. Street art, graffiti and the youth of east London. These subjects have become entwined over the past years. Us young people today have become more interested in fine art because of graffiti and with the increased popularity of street art and band like rudimental are using the Dalston Peace Carnival Mural in hackney in east London have shown a light on graffiti in a good way.

Government cut backs cause teens to resort to a life of crime?

Government cut backs cause teens to resort to a life of crime?

 

Tom Haroldson was a teen who once went to a youth club in his youth and that youth club was shut down in 2014 by the government. We spoke to him to find out his opinions on the case of the matter. Tom now 19 years old shares his experience on going to a youth group and growing up in one of the worst estate in east London and how this opened him up to go into graffiti and street art.

How do you feel about your youth club shutting down and how do you think this relates to teenagers and the increase in graffiti? I hate the government for shutting down my youth club as many kids and teenagers needed the youth club to be safe and to be surrounded by people who want better for us. They don't look down on us because we life in a bad estate they look at us as if where any other kid in any other kids. I also think that graffiti has been around for a long time and it has been part of the youth's life. I do think that the youth clubs closing down has increased but that's because we don't have anything else to do as many of the kids and teenagers parents are gone because they have to go to work to make money for us so many of us are left to our own devices. 

How has not going to a youth club affected you and your friends? As i say been, we are left to our own devices and we needed youth clubs because after school we use to go to the youth clubs and they knew all the kids in the estate so they knew if the kids and the teenagers parents are at work they would let the kid stay in the youth club and the parents would pick them up when they were done with work. Teenagers only went there because they would give them food and for many people that were the only food they were going to have all day other than free school lunch. Since the youth club close down a lot of the kids don't really eat food after school is done i think that is wrong.   

Do you think that the government cutting cost on youth clubs will affect the younger generation? I think that it will affect the younger generation as they will not have youth clubs and if you asks many people who went to youth clubs as kids and teenagers would tell you that youth clubs are really needed as they have people who care for you and are a bit like you older brothers and sisters. Living in one of the worst estate in London doesn't not help so if you have people in the youth clubs that care for you it's very nice and the younger generation will see out on that.

Do you think that graffiti and street art is a great way to distract the youth from doing worse things such as joining gangs, drugs etc..? I think that it is a great way to distract the youth from drugs but I am not sure about teenagers Joining gangs because a lot of people join gangs but that because they have a lot of time on their hands and a lot of people need to feel like people care for them because they are not getting it at home. I do think that graffiti helps teenagers because they are able to express themselves with the street art but I don't think that it has the power to completely change things but that's why we teenagers need youth clubs because the people there care about you which is a change from the way some people treat us.

How do you feel about the police looking at graffiti and street art as crimes and do you should be jailed for it? I don't like Way police look down on people who do graffiti because it is art I don't know why it does look down upon just because it's not in galleries it is really sad that the Lord is like that I hope that the laws change where graffiti is legal or at least they set up clubs or maybe places where people can do graffiti without The dangers of being arrested or damaging someone's property because I don't think that is right for people to damage people's properties because they want to do graffiti but I do feel like graffiti is needed because graffiti is the voice of a generation at the time and I feel like it is a bit like a time Capsule on what's going on in this generation.

Task 1D - Textual analysis double page spered and snapchat article

proposal/ legal and moral/ brief

Proposal

 

 

For both of my articles I am going to talk about street art and graffiti in east London and how street art has changed the way the youth of east London now look at art because of street art and graffiti. In my first article I want to talk about how street art and graffiti has become more mainstream in media. In my second articles I am going to talk about how street art has changed the way the youth of east London think about art.

 

The articles that I am going to publish will inform the youth of east London and also maybe teachers secondary and collages as they are around them a lot so it may be helpful for them also. The article will also educate the youth of east London as they will have more of an insight of what goes on in street art and graffiti in east London I also think that this article will educate people who want to learn more about the street art and graffiti scene. The articles that I am making I will make sure that they provide a service to the people who are reading the article as they will be able to look at other articles there are that are related to street art when they read my own article due to the platform that it will be on which is E-zines. My second article will be published on a different platform from the first as am I going to publish it as a double page spread which would be online and can be accessed via an app/website link. It will also be up for one week as that is as long I want it up. I want my second articles to be published as a snapchat story on the news section of the mobile app. This way I will be able to connect with a larger group of teens as the mobile app has millions of teenagers visiting the site. The article will be up for only 24 hours as that is the way snapchat works.

 As I talked about in the beginning when I go into much more detail with my first article I will talk about how famous and well known street artist like Banksy and Cartrian have changed the way the youth have thought about art be that in a positive or negative way. With my second article when I also go into much more detail I will talk about how bands like rudimental have used street art for their album covers for their band's first album and because of that they have made some graffiti much more popular.

I will be taken all the picture myself and I will also take all of my own photos and video then it comes to the second article. This is because it is going to be on snapchat and with snapchat you need some sort of picture or video to keep the audience interested so they swipe up and read the article. The cost will not be a lot as I am going to use the collages equipment when I want to film or take picture and also if I am not able to use to the collages equipment I will use my friends equipment.


legal and moral



I do my my articles I will have to make sure that the pictures that are use in my articles make sure are taken by me because in the brief it states that I have to have original pictures this is also important because if I were to use someone else's pictures they could have grounds to sue me which I do not want. i'll have to also make sure When I take the pictures that no one who doesn't want to be in the picture is in it as they have not given me permission to use the picture in any articles so if someone was to found out are used a picture in my article without telling them they will also have grounds to sue me.

When I do start to make my article I will have to make sure that all of my work is written by me and not taken from the Internet or from someone else's work as that is plagiarism and which is also illegal to do so if I was caught doing that someone will also have right to sue me and I would most likely lose as that is not my work but if it turned out to be an accident and we have some similar phrasing. or some similar words we use I'm not sure if they'll have much ground to sue me. To stop that from happening in the first place my teacher said we have to upload our finish articles and adaptations to Moodle as there is a software on Moodle which catches people plagiarising other peoples in the first place work.
