Capstone #4: Site Visit
Hello and welcome to Rocio’s Story. Today we’re going to talk about my capstone site visit.
For my site visit I went to the Bushwick graffiti neighborhood. I went to my site visit on 5/26/19. I was very excited for my site visit, but also I kinda didn’t want to go because it was an hour away (in the city). When I got to the Bushwick neighborhood, my dad and I couldn’t find the graffiti. A person that was there asked if we needed help, so my dad asked him where all the graffiti was.
When we finally found the graffiti I liked some a lot and thought they were done very well. I honestly didn’t understand how graffiti artist could have made that. One that I liked a lot were like purple pumas. Here’s a picture.
I liked this one a lot because I thought it was really good and precise. One thing I was wondering is how could the graffiti artist do this so quickly, but so precise. I noticed that the graffiti artist had to work around the window, but still made it look realistic.
Another graffiti piece I really liked was like green with blue circles. It’s hard to explain. Here’s a picture.
I liked this one a lot because it was abstract. You don’t usually see abstract graffiti, which made in unique. I also liked this one because of the design. I thought the design was very interesting and very cool.
My site visit added to my learning by letting me see graffiti in person. It also added to my learning by showing me examples of things I was reading in articles, like styles of graffiti and tags. My site visit helped me kinda answer my sub question: What are the pros and Cons of graffiti. It helped me answer it cause I got to see the good and bad graffiti.
