CANS: Woodlawn
CANS is a program where students analyze the cultural significance of spray-paint-based art while learning fundamentals in lettering, design, composition, and spray technique. Classes include an exploration of both historical lettering/styles and how they influence modern interpretations around the Portland area. Throughout the program students will gradually develop their ability to produce stylized letters while exploring technical elements in paint/nozzle choice, color blending, layering, dimension/shadows, and more. In other words, we talk about what makes good graffiti dope and learn how to do it.
