Students rotate through projected neighborhood photos and a few printed museum and mural images, sort each example as art, vandalism, or both, and defend their choices with quick evidence in teams. The class then hears a short framing from the teacher using the driving question and records first observations about legal spaces, damage, message, audience, and community impact. Teams finish by writing one draft problem statement and one possible legal wall idea on chart paper to carry into the next phase.
