Guerilla ART!

 THIS IS FRED

For the Guerrilla Art's Project. I created a Balloon story. I got a bunch of balloons, and wrote a story on them, ans stuck them in the ground. This is what the story said. 

Once upon a time...
In a far away land.
There lived a little balloon.
His dream was of one day travelling the world.
But he had one problem.
He was stuck to the ground.
If you believe in achieving your dreams.
Please set Fred free.  

This is what happened. 


Once i had these balloons, i went out onto my street and placed them in the ground. I felt a little silly about it, but it ended up being kind of fun. All of my neighbours came out to see what it was. they looked at each balloon curious as to what they said. Then they followed through with what i had hoped would happen. One girl picked up the balloon who was FRED and set him free! I guess she believes in following your dreams. Overall it was a fun way to do something out of the ordinary and make some people smile at doing something silly and fun. 

This is something that anyone could do to test their creativity, and come up with something that will make people stop and think rather than rushing about their day. It is a way to bring a fun, creative spin to our thinking, and it could very possibly brighten someone's day. 

Art Word of the Week: LINE

"A line is a visible mark made by an artistic tool. It usually suggests direction or movement, rhythm or form" (Shirrmacher &Fox,135).

I place the balloons in a line, so that people would be drawn to them, and could follow the direction of them to read the story. The line of balloons in this cause allowed from people to physically move from one place to another to understand them story.
