Submission Required
A student’s father leads a graffiti studio talk with a live sketch demo on lettering, color, style, legal wall spaces, and community responsibility. Students collect quotes and technique notes, then conduct brief pair interviews using a shared protocol before moving into sketch circles to discuss what they learned, how their thinking changed, and which ideas belong in a legal wall concept. Each team drafts an empathy map for at least two stakeholders such as artists, residents, business owners, or youth.
