Cognitive Application. Students will discuss the difference between “low” art and “high” art. Students will look at classical artists and compare them to graffiti artists. Is one more important than the other? What are the differences? Students will explore graffiti art and in particular artist Keith Haring. How has graffiti art changed the way you can look at what is art? Graffiti art has made art accessible to all types of people due to it’s placement in a public space. Any one walking by can view the art, they don’t have to go into a art gallery.
