From graffiti walls to the gallery halls- the Lower East Side is home to a vibrant street art scene. In this course, students explore a wide range of 2D art making techniques inspired by street and pop art techniques that use the city as a canvas such as graffiti, printmaking, stenciling and multimedia art.
