the ART of Graffiti “Sketching Letters” Class by Nate1

1AM SF is not only an art gallery celebrating urban and street art but also an establishment committed to conveying the positive aspects of this misunderstood form of art. The classes are aimed to give an outlet for people to express themselves creatively and raise awareness to the urban arts. The four classes offered at 1AM are Stencil, Art of Graffiti "Sketching Letters", Toy Modification, and the Letter Style and Mural Production. We give students first hand experience in the world of street and urban art by teaching them the history, culture, art styles of graffiti and having them paint a mural on one of the busiest streets of San Francisco. 1AM, short for First Amendment, encourages people to freely share their thoughts and ideas through the medium of art in a responsible and innovative way. The Art of Graffiti "Sketching Letters" class is taught by Bay Area designer Nate1 (owner of NewSkool). His passion and knowledge of San Francisco graffiti shines through in his classes. He offers students a thorough and engaging history of graffiti, provides examples of the different styles of graffiti lettering and demonstrates how to spray paint letters and figures. By the end of the class, students will have the tools and knowledge to try their hand at writing their own graffiti letters. All materials for the class are provided. -Occurs every month -Each class consists of one session. -The class is $40/person. - Ages 14+ Welcome.
