this is one of our first collaborative art projects...what will we do? We've done quite a few graphics before, we have a cool logo and some kind of comics book characters and a graphics with two kids reading a book and holding spraypaint that says, "because school doesn't teach us what we really want to know". We might want to have a slogan like that on the banner, and maybe put the website in the corner too. It might be hard to paint people realistically on the banner, one thing we could do is depict our "tools of the trade" like wrenches and paintbrushes and what have you. Stenciling a large, detailed image might be tricky, maybe we could screenprint the banner. Though you can get a pretty good stenciled image if you use a brush for more control. Stencils would probably look good for lettering though. We definitely need cool lettering. How big should it be? Most folding tables are about 6 feet wide and two feet off the ground. We need a way to hang the banner, like with some string. We could even sew patches on it to add color and texture. What color cloth should we use? we should really think about how we want to represent/express ourselves. Tp me misled youth is about kids taking matters into our own hands, charting our own path, learning and experimenting, not accepting pre-made notions of how to live our lives. let's make a banner that tells people that!
