Winter Break for Teens CCMoA: 3D Graffiti – From Wall to the Table with Jennifer Stratton, expressive and creative arts educator (Ages 11-15)

Graffiti has existed since ancient times from cave paintings to more elaborate wall art. Modern-day Graffiti or “Street Art” started out as a rebellious way for young people to express themselves on city subways and walls. It has now become more of an accepted art form. To some, it is seen as a form of public art and can be thought of as urban art. There is still a lot of controversy about the acceptance of graffiti. In this class, we will learn a little about the history of graffiti and explore some contemporary graffiti artists. We will then think of a word, design it in our own way on paper, and then transfer it onto clay. The finished product will be a sculpted and painted piece of 3D graffiti artwork.

Jennifer Stratton is a visual artist, musician, and expressive/creative arts facilitator. She lives in Hyannis with her husband.

Jennifer’s experience with the healing powers of expressive art developed into a strong desire to help others tune in to their own creative gifts. In 2009 she received her Certificate of Graduate Studies Program for the Professional Application of Expressive Arts for Healing, also at Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I.

She works with organizations, groups, and individuals using expressive arts as a way for people to deepen their own self-discovery process, as a tool to deal with specific issues, and also to just have fun, learn about art and build community. Most recently she held the position of Art Director for the Boys and Girls Club of Cape Cod in Mashpee. She is also a certified CTI trained Life Coach.
