+ The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it--Banksy.

Contemporary graffitti artist. very clever very interesting you might enjoy sharing him with your student. He has actually visited Birmingham, AL on his way to New Orleans after Katrina . If you Google Banksy in Birmingham AL you will find a painting of KKK man being hung on a western Brimingham deserted gastation. I believe the image was only allowed to remain until it was discovered which was a very brief length of time. This could be a good discussion question or discussion about political comment and contemporary art. He also creates duplicates of famous artworks and then adds things to it and then sneaks them into museums and hangs them on the wall. Very interesting stuff. Check it out.
