'Street art' might sound like a euphemism for 'graffiti', but as children at The Creative Arts Club in the last week of the summer holiday will discover, it actually has its root in history and has echoes of cave painting. It's a constantly evolving art form used by such artists as Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol as well as to wield political aggression and resistance on the Berlin Wall and as murals in Northern Ireland during the troubles.
During the back to school, end of summer holidays workshop, children will begin by examining lots of vibrant images and learning a bit about the history of street art before creating their own.
Using the art club's favourite stories, children will illustrate pencil drawn buildings, create 3D cardboard buildings decorated with colourful pop art stencils, stamp and spray textiles to be made into pillows - and will become live street artists, drawing chalk murals on tarmac in Notting Hill.
