Street Art

Posted by Jorge Esquea in ART 9 - Hertz - e2 on
It's an artist that I listen to and It's a pose that he did in one of his music videos.

A artist that I follow on Instagram is what inspired me. 

I chose the location because It's next to my advisory ( Aziz. ) 

It really didn't change my perception of art because I always enjoyed art. 

It changed my perspective by whatever street art I see I would think about it and know there is a history & meaning.

The meaning of our work was to just decorate the hallway and make it look nice.

 When we looked online for ideas we found Chinese symbols that we thought looked call and wanted to make. 

We chose to put our work next to the Main Office since everyone always pass there. So we wanted to let everyone see our work.

 This project changed my perception of art since it made me realize that a lot of things that I thought wasn't art actually is.

 This project changes my perception of art as I look around the city by seeing a lot of designs that I thought wasn't art but actually is. Art is what you want it to be, you could put a brush by a broom and to you it could have a meaning that nobody else understands.

A Lion

Posted by Donald Rodgers in ART 9 - Hertz - e1 on
What this drawing means to me is the life if how the lion king of the jungle lives his fierce and fearless life.

What inspired my drawing was how much I love the wild animals especially the giant cats dogs and other wild animals.

The location I chose was near the art room so it reminds me of my creative thinking.

It did not change my perception of art

Through the city I can see that many things have a different meaning and can represent different things

Positive Vibes +

My street art is uplifting inspiration. It reminds people to be themselves. There are some encouraging quotes on it that people can learn from.

I know that in school, especially high school, there are many struggles. You are still trying to figure yourself out and navigate this thing called life. Knowing that people are going through so many changes, inspired me to encourage them to always stay true to themselves despite the struggle. Always be you as you make your way through the maze called life.

I chose to put my street art in front of Ms. Connagahn's room near the window, because that is one of the places where the sun shines the most. Being that my piece is about being happy and is focused on uplifting people, why wouldn't I put it in one of the brightest places in the building?

This project changed my perception of Art, because I now know that art can come in many different forms. Art can come in ways that you probably wouldn't even imagine. Art could be anything, it all depends on they way you interpret the piece. Art is more mysterious than I thought.

 I have come to appreciate street artist and art much more. They risk their lives just trying to express themselves. They want to share their ideas with the world through ways that may not be traditional. I respect that. I now see some of the street art as super cool and thought provoking.

Primary Election Volunteer

Posted by Sydni Breitenbach in AMERICAN HISTORY - Hussey - E on
My experience was pretty cool, I went to a polling station near my house with my aunt and uncle. We were immediately greeted by a small group of people basically telling us to vote for some guy. As we got to the doors there were two people handing out little sheets of paper with who we should vote for on it. They told us the ballot that the other group gave us was fake and to trust them instead. We went inside and it was pretty dead but it was cool cause they had donuts. My aunt let me go inside the actual thing that you vote in and let me click on who to vote for, she also let me click vote which was fun. All in all it was a cool experience.

The meaning of the artwork i made is family and it can come in all shapes in sizes


What inspired my work was my friends that are so close to me that i can call them family and they can do the same to me


I choose the location to place this artwork because it’s an advisory and in advisory were supposed to be a family


This project did not change my perception of art

There isn’t a meaning. The unicorn is something i’ve always liked. The hands represent god, and how I am a child of god. My inspiration came from Apple, their emoji’s perfectly represent what I like. I chose the location simply because it my baes locker. This project changed my perception of art because I got more of an understanding that not everything is art, and that it came be hard to create something of your own because there is a chance that someone already got to the idea and it’ll cause intimidation on the person. It changed my perception of Art from what i’ve seen in public because you get an understanding of why they do it. They do it because they want others to see their ideas and things they can create.

Justice Will Prevail

The meaning of my artwork “Justice Will Prevail” is that if anyone does something wrong they will eventually get punished for what they did. I got the quote from an anime I watched called Death Note and I really liked the quote.


What inspired my art was that I really liked the quote. What inspired the design of my art was the logo of this college called “The New School”. Their logo was a red background and the name of their school was written in white with two white lines under it. My artwork was the quote “Justice Will Prevail” with a white background , red letters, and two black lines under it



I chose the location I chose because no one else’s street art was in that area and I thought it would be easy to notice.



This project changed my perception of art by telling me that art can be anything and nothing is wrong when you're drawing art.



This project changed my perception of art I see as I travel around the city by making me look around to see different art while i'm on the street.

​The meaning of my street art is that money flies. It is so easy to lose money by spending it or losing it. My art was inspired by the saying money is the root to all evil. I think this is true because money is the most valuable thing in the world , people fight over it everyday. I chose this location because a lot of people walk down that hallway which means a lot of people will see it. At first I thought art was easy but then I noticed it wasn't. You have to think of what you want to draw and draw it. It changed my perspective because know I know not everything is art.

Najee's Deadpool Artwork

Posted by Najee Harrison in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on

The meaning of my work was to inspire Deadpool fans. I also thought it would be cool yo have a saying that told people to work hard and put a lot of work into what the person is doing without actually saying it.

My creativity and the fact that I enjoyed the movie inspired me to do this.

I choose the location because it is my advisory room.

This project didn't change my perspective.

This project didn't change my perspective as I traveled around either.

​The meaning of my street art  was to show a little bit of what i like. Some of my channel  stuff is in there to. this for me was a really good way to show what i like in a creative form. Somethings that inspired me to do the art that i did was some games that i like to play and my channel both stuff i love doing and what better way to show what kind of person i am then what i like .
I picked this locution because of its hot spot for people walking by. My art change my perception of by showing me how to see it differently like i use to think that street art was just people putting things on the wall  and not seeing as there out let to the world.All over the city i see it change do to many factors such as taste culture music and etc...

Holding on

The meaning of my "street Art" is to make people aware. For them to realize that while they are trying to hold on to what they love, is only going to drag them down. I decided to to create this imagery because I was a victim of not being being able to let go. I was holding on to something I couldn't changed or ever forget. It weighed me down and caused more damage then if I were to let go and move on.  I chose the located of a corner to place my piece. I placed it there because it's meant to be hidden. You never know when you need to let go, you also never know when you will see my inspiring "street Art." After creating my Art work, it changed my perception on art because o the message it gives. Now as I travel the city I look at Art people have created and try to find the message behind it.

The meaning of this work is to be original. I am the only one who put their street art in the place that it's at. It makes even more special than it already is. 

What inspired my work was how Terri used someone else's work as his own. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to be as original as possible. 

I thought the place I put it wouldn't draw that much attention, but when it did, I would make people say that it was different. 

I now look at art as something that is sacred to the artist. Their art is a symbol of them, no matter where it is present or where it's placed. 

I now look at art in the city and see the struggle of the artist that put it there. I see the different ways the artist had to get the art to where it is. I also imagine what the artist was thinking when it ame to getting the painting or drawing noticed.

The meaning of the art work that I created is that there is always going to be ups and downs but to always stay positive. I was inspired to do this art work so if anyone is having a bad day they are able to look at my artwork to see that their is always good in no matter what is going on in your life.  I choose to put my artwork on my locker because I go to my locker every morning and at the end of the day and it will remind me that I should always stay positive.This project did change my perception of Art because it allowed me to see how much work actually goes to creating something with great meaning. This also change my perception of Art when I travel around the city because many people risk their lives to create artwork that represents 'something deeper than just graffiti.

The one who inspired my work was my late pet Chester. I created this artwork in memory because even though she was not with me for a long time i'll always remember her. The reason I chose this location is because our advisory is supposed to be our school home and our home is suppose to be something close to us. This project hasn't really changed my perception of art because art was something I always thought had some sort of meaning to it. This project changed my perception of Art as I travel around the city because now I know that it isn't just vandalism.

Street Art By Alex Bonner

The photo I created was just another way of me to reflect to my new personality when I enter to this school. My art work shows that i'm sleeping and not stressing over work, and find a way to manage things out. This art really didn't really affect me since I used to make art when I was younger. I pick the first door when we walk in because a lot of people will see it.

Art project by Rachel McCann

Posted by Rachel McCann in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on
​The meaning behind my artwork is something that people would not think it is deep, but to me it is. My artwork is something that my friends and I would draw everywhere. I started drawing this when I was seven years old and anywhere we hung out it was there. I missed the how easy life was then, which inspired my artwork for this project.  My location honestly is not the meaningful to me, I just picked a random spot. This project did not change my perception of art, the way I saw art before I took this class, is the way I see it now.  When I walk around I would take pictures of artwork I liked and post them on Facebook or somewhere else, this project didn't change my view on art because it was still this same.

The Labyrinth

Posted by Tyheim Price in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on
The meaning of this art work is to get people thinking. I want them to interpret this picture in whatever way they'd like.

A few books that I read made me think of doing this. 

I choose the location I put it in because I want it to be in a place that people only see in the corner of their eye, something that's there but isn't really noticeable. When they do see it I want them to be interested. That's why I put this art work where I put it.

This project didn't change my perception on Art much, if at all.

This project makes me want to notice more art work around the city. I know that Philadelphia has a lot of street art on walls and I see a lot of them, but I want to see them better if that makes sense. I notice them, but I never really see them.

Hallway Illusion

Posted by Mariano Mattei in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on
-The meaning of the work I have created is that "Not everything is what it seems."
-The basic concept of optical illusions inspired my work. Optical illusions are so cool to me. I look them up every now and then, and I think they are really cool.
-I chose the location I did because it was simple to re-create, and it was an easy piece to put into an optical illusion.
-My perception of art is that anything can be art. This project didn't change that perception. I still think art can be anything.
-My perception of art in the city is that it is still art. This project didn't change that perception. I still think art can be anything, including street art.

  • The meaning of my art is for everybody to know the town the live in I want them to fell welcome to Philadelphia and love it just as I love it.
  • Well I wanted to make something that represented me so what not better to do then to put the town I live in.
  • I choose this location because everybody walks pass our counselor office so why not put it there where everybody will see it because I want everyone in the building to see it.  
  • This project changed my perception of art because I just thought it was just art not something that means something or represented a special person or someone.
  • Now I will pay attention to art and look at it closely and admire the art they took their time to make and share.

Self respect

Posted by Jadaline Torres in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on
I created a woman wearing a t shirt that states "a mans opinion does not define you" the meaning of this drawing was to let other females know that a male or anyone whatever the gender is does not define who you are and confidence does not come within someone else's opinion but starts with you. I seen this picture on the internet and seen the same picture but I changed the quote to something I related to/liked. I hung my drawing in the hallway on a wall, I didn't pick this location for any specific reason I just wanted to make sure it was high enough to not touch and just be looked at so it didn't get ruined. This assignment changed my view on art by realizing that art can be anywhere and creating "art" is anything by someone who puts their hard work into something they created.

​The meaning behind the art that I've created is that I really like my last name and everybody at this school calls me by my last name more than my first name. Nothing really inspired me I liked the way it looked so I drew it that way. The reason I chose the spot I chose is because I wanted to be the first thing you see leaving the third floor just because. My perception of art didn't change it still is the same. It has made me think of why the artist put it there and there's a certain reason why they did so.

The Final Curtain

Posted by Jonathan Aner in ART 9 - Hertz - a2 on
The meaning of this piece of art is that life is stage and you perform.  This part is were the ending of that where you are done and ready to be by yourself affected by your thoughts and nobody else. I was inspired by what Senor Rosen Long said in Drama class,"The life is like a play and kind of scripted out, what are you going to do to change the script?" When this project came along this was the first thing I thought of and then this piece of art was born. I chose the second floor near the door heading to the lobby.  I chose this location because I was thinking that this is close to the auditorium at first but then I thought that it could serve a reminder to people that life is can be troublesome. I think this project changed my perception of art because people have different interpretations of things. You might be walking in the city and see a person face painted on the side of the building and think it has one meaning.  Someone else might find some other type of meaning in the face being there.  Before the project I thought street art was more  of a illegal thing but, now I think it is more of a free art show that gives inspiration.
