Guerilla Art Assignment - Visual Language

Emotional Oxymoron Guerilla Art

For our first visual language assignment, we had to post non-destructive, non-toxic guerilla art on public property. Using washable tempera paint and a stencil, i created an image of a man frowning, with the text "smile." underneath it. It was meant to cause people to stop and contemplate this slightly ambiguous oxymoron.

Good job. It appears as if the stencil was more successful when applied to paper. I bet the wetness of the tempera made it difficult to apply to metal. Did you capture a lot of public response?
