I was placed in a 7th Grade art position for the remainder of my student teaching experience. My cooperating teacher 10 years my junior, was in her position for ten years. We became fast friends and in our planning for the remainder of this covid year we came up with a mixed media project that inspired kids. A little bit of low-tech photoshop and a little bit of low-tech meme. Basically take a picture, photograph or magazine, and make it funny.

Banksy is an anonymous English-based street artist, vandal, political activist, and film director, active since the 1990s. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, English graffiti artist and international prankster Banksy has managed to become one of the world's most recognized artists while remaining relatively anonymous. Staying true to the credos of Street Art, he's built a celebrated body of work, both permanent and impermanent, that utilizes satire, subversion, dark humor, and irony to create resonant social, political, and humanist messages for the masses on a populous and public level. His style is universally familiar, founded on a signature stencil aesthetic that has elevated him from mere man with a spray can to a highly creative artist in his own right. He is responsible for catapulting guerilla work into the mainstream as a viable form of art.
