About the course:

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
Session 1: Group introductions, discussion of personal expectations. Discussion: what street art is and what motivates people to engage in street art. We explore graffiti culture, styles, and trends.
Practical part: Design your own tag, draw a large graffiti on cardboard, and cut it out. Mini-lesson: the basics of "bubble letters" and "wildstyle." We fill the area with white paint and spray outline it on the balcony. We paint with acrylics. The final product is your own graffiti to take home. At the end of the session, we take photos of the work and print graffiti stickers + a sticker pack for the Telegram group.
Session 2: Virtual walk through the Savamala district, viewing six murals, discussion: why is this important? What street art gives to the city. We'll start making a composite stencil on drawing paper.
Session 3: Continuing with the stencil theme, we'll finish the stencil from the previous lesson. We'll learn how to combine colors and complementary color combinations. We'll apply the image one by one to the beer-colored cardboard on the balcony.
Session 4: Returning to the graffiti theme, we'll decorate a pre-cut school bus, just like we did with the train car. If possible, we'll create our own walking route where we'll glue the buses onto the walls of old buildings slated for demolition.
Sessions 5 and 6: Working with miniatures and art objects. We'll make tiles from self-hardening clay and paint them with acrylic. We'll try making a group series so the tiles are connected. We'll glue them onto an old, abandoned building slated for demolition. We have one in mind, located in Slavia Trade Center.
Session 7: We'll explore doodles and ways to digitally interact with the city. We'll fill a sheet of paper with a black marker, black pen, or eyeliner, using a variety of city symbols. We'll choose the topic "Belgrade's Urban Environment." We'll photograph all the drawings and upload them online. Then, we can add animations to them using free AR apps (such as Artivive): blinking, movement, and sound. We'll convert the links into QR codes. We'll make QR code stickers for everyone to place on the street. The result: an "interactive mural" that can be scanned and opened.
Session 8: We'll finish all the projects, prepare the exhibition, wait for our parents, and show and tell them everything!

...As a teacher, I try to show children and adults the journey that material takes—from a lump of clay in their hands to a fairytale lamp, a mug for mom, a flower pot, and so on. How the first brushstroke begins a larger story that fills the canvas. I want people to believe from childhood that they can express themselves, and that clay and paint are just one of many tools.
