Art word of the week: Space
The total area defined by the size of the artist's canvas (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009). I chose to use this term because Guerilla Art has a big connection to space. Artist have an excessive amount of space to use to make their creations visible to the public. Therefore Guerilla Art can be spread in either larger places meaning worldwide or in small places as just within a community.
Guerilla art is a form of art that involves leaving anonymous pieces in public places. It is a form of expression and an opinion directed to a large audience i.e. the public. Guerilla art is used everywhere in around the world including Toronto. When an individual wants to make a statement and give their voice in a non-verbal way they use guerilla

I chose to use a smiley face because I thought that I could try and brighten someone’s day by using a big visible yellow smiley face and a written quote on that back. I thought this would be a great idea because I feel most people in this world are always in a rush, never take the time to appreciate the things around them and lastly always in a grumpy irrated mood. By having someone to walk by and to take the time to read and appreciate my guerilla art with a reaction whether positive or negative is great because at least someone felt something towards my art.
My Gureilla Art
My MESSAGE for the audience
Someone spotting my Guerilla Art
The individual picking up my Guerilla Art
The REACTION from my message
I found this blog quite interesting and fun to do. Through this process at the very beginning I was unsure of how I wanted the public to see my guerrilla art and how I was going to portray it in my neighbourhood. I also felt a little uncomfortable letting the wider public judge my guerrilla art. When I finally came up with an idea, I was quite excited to let the public get a reaction from my creation. At the end of this process I feel more comfortable and I would not mind making more creations and allowing a wider audience have reactions to more art work.

This would be a great activity for educators to involve young children because I feel it is a wonderful way for children to get a deeper understanding of why different forms of art are portrayed throughout our city. Children are curious beings and incorporating them in a guerrilla art activity would be a fantastic way to teach children appreciation for the forms of art. This form of activity would also benefit the child by boosting their self-confidence and self-esteem in their creations. Educators can do this my getting children to create pieces of art and placing them around the community to share with friends, families and their peers.
