1. Graffiti-Originally an inscription or design scratched on rock, stone or plaster. Now loosely applied to any writing on walls. (Plural of “graffito/” Originally an inscription or design scratched on rock, stone or plaster. Now loosely applied to any writing on walls. (Plural of “graffito/”)

2. When and Where Do you think the First Graffiti was written?

4. . Lascaux may be the most beautiful Paleolithic painted cave in the world. It contains more than 1500 pictures of animals, all of them are 17,000 years old.

5. Why do you think there is the desire to write on the walls? 1.Some say it represents man's desire and need for communication

9. Three Point Perspective Three point perspective uses all three sets of parallel lines of the cube. Similar to two point perspective, one of the sets of parallel lines aims toward the North point and the other set aims toward the East point. The third set of lines projects toward the Nadir point (below you) or the Zenish point (above you). Either Zenith or Nadir can be used with the same grid by spinning the three point perspective grid 180 degrees. You can project all of these lines with a straight edge.

10. Four Point Perspective Four point perspective can be thought of in a couple of different ways. First, we use the same logic it takes to get to three point perspective. But if the cube we are looking at is very tall and projects above you and also goes below your eye level, these up and down lines must project toward two points. Not only does the cube look fat in the middle, it also seems to get smaller as it goes above and below your eye level. These lines, which used to be the up and down parallel lines of the cube, are now curving in like a football coming together at the Zenith and Nadir points. If you were on the twentieth floor of a skyscraper, looking out the window at another skycscraper, forty stories high, you would see this type of effect.

13. This process is done very lightly in pencil so that part of the first rectangular shape can be erased to permit the next rectangle to be interlocked. Students begin the next rectangle by first drawing the line of the rectangle which is closest to the viewer, and repeating the preceding directions. The entire process is repeated until six or seven interlocking rectangles are developed. When complete, fine line markers are used to outline the finished image, showing the clarity of each form. Students are reminded that every line drawn must be applied to one of the three vanishing points. The overall size of each rectangular form is decided by each student. The image may appear as a series of interconnected trapezoids, yet in three dimensional reality they remain interconnected rectangles.

14. Instruct students to create thumbnail sketches using simple lines on 81/2" X 11" or 12" X 18" newsprint paper, so they can roughly see how each letter will be directed to one of the vanishing points. This can also help in the overall composition of letters. Students then add width to each individual letter using the same vanishing points. The student's name must be readable. The illusion of depth is created by using opposite vanishing points to show the thickness of each letter. See each letter as having a closest edge, and every line to the left of that lining up to the left vanishing point. Verticals go to the top vanishing point. Really challenging letters may need a fourth point at the bottom of the page. Check each student's work to make sure that each line is directed to one of the vanishing points, because at first glance the work may appear to be correct. Remind students that their created design is in a readable format. The design emphasis is on combining letter form to create an overall unified image. Encourage students to overlap, interlock and/or have some letter appearing to pierce through another to make visual connection. The aim is a well-constructed yet readable design
