Week 13: Graffiti Masterpiece
SEE THINK WONDER
What do you see in the picture? What do you think is happening and what was the artist trying to tell you with this picture? What does this picture make you wonder about?
The term Graffiti masterpiece (or simply known as graffiti piece) is used to describe a full work. Most often placed on walls, billboards, traincars, and other large objects found throughout metropolitan areas, "Pieces" are the main focus of competitional graffiti artistry. This style is usually how a Toy gets credibility and respect as a true artist.
Pieces are almost always large, filled in artworks that are full of color. Large works of Wildstyle are typically the type of art found within this category, but there are other styles within it.
