One River School of Art + Design Opens Street Art Student Exhibition

One River School of Art + Design will exhibit artwork from two weeks of Street Art camp by its Westchester art students ages 8-18. The exhibition is in collaboration with The Westchester Mall in White Plains, NY. One River School of Art + Design has two Westchester, NY locations in Larchmont and Hartsdale where summer art camp students created paintings inspired by graffiti and street art to convey their own individual messages.

Campers were able to study the street art movement, which features artists like Banksy, and create their own large-scale paintings on wood panels with acrylic spray paint. Although students may be most familiar with the look of graffiti and its appropriation in advertising and popular culture, they were challenged to implement their own style when creating their paintings.
