I am kind of jealous and totally appalled that there is a course in graffiti at Parsons. The true beef is that it is called "geek graffiti", which I guess in a way is what street art is. But seriously.
"The main goal of this course is to learn to look upon our surroundings in a new way. It is my aim that by the end of this course you will walk around the city differently than when it started. You will know you are getting there when you start to annoy your friends by interrupting conversations to stop and take a photo of what looks to them to be a mess of ink.
In GEEK GRAFFITI we will also be making things designed to exist within the city. Succesful projects will use the urban environment as a unique medium and answer the follow questions:
"Why is it important that this is outdoors? Would this be any good if it weren't? Why does it matter that this is done where and how it was? How is this new and, most importantly, why should I care?"
