Graffiti Verite' 4 (GV4): The Basic Techniques for Creating Graffiti Art on Walls & Canvas
About this item:
The documentary series GRAFFITI VERITE' continues with this fourth entry, which departs from the earlier ones. Bob Bryan's fourth film is a how-to guide that reveals the basic techniques for creating graffiti art murals and aerosol artworks on walls and canvas. Viewers will join two-time award-winner of the International Graffiti Art Competition, graffiti artist SANO as he demonstrates the techniques used to create visually spectacular graffiti art works on walls (murals) and canvas. This step-by-step tutorial covers the concepts, aesthetics, techniques and style required to master the underground urban art form, and sheds light on the misunderstandings surrounding the discipline. During the presentation, SANO discusses the concepts and theories behind graffiti art, hoping to foster a better appreciation for this often misunderstood artform. GV4 is one of the few instructional titles that teaches the popular medium of dynamic graffiti art. Winner, "Best Documentary and Soundtrack of the Year Award", 2003 Urban Independent Music Awards. "The fourth entry in the Graffiti Verite' series (see review of Graffiti Verite 4 covers the basics of becoming a graffiti artist, with instruction by graffiti artist SANO in the techniques of sketching, outlining and fading, highlighting and shadowing, "can" control, 3D effects, and more. Declaring his absolute love of the genre, SANO sketches ideas on a pad while sitting in the sun, and talks about translating his vision onto the wall of somebody else's property (just kidding!) Actually, SANO demonstrates his considerable artistic gifts on sanctioned al fresco surfaces: a 50-foot long wall at the A far cry from the flamboyant if illegible tags that constitute the bulk of graffiti art in many locales, SANO's larger work is nonetheless semi-traditional, centered on his name, but with some really nice adjoining elements like a colorful mushroom cloud. His smaller work is a portrait of Tupac Shakur which, given the black background, looks something like a hip-hop equivalent of an Elvis on black velvet masterpiece, albeit a very artistic one. Attention to detail and clarity of instruction are plusses here, but no doubt the subject matter will raise issues for some collections, SANO's obvious talents notwithstanding, since graffiti art is not universally esteemed as desirable public art. However, as either art instruction or social document this is a worthy addition, and is therefore recommended."
