10.1.2011- Experience with Pasar Seni Graffiti Art

10.1.2011, 3 of us (John, Teoh & Jason) head to Pasar Seni to take photo of the Graffiti art which's alongside the river. Actually there's no proper road that lead us to the graffiti art spot, and then we saw a small road so we just try to follow it & finally we reach there...This is so impress, we see many type of graffiti art (3D, Stencil, Cartoonish and so much more!!!)drawn on the wall. After that, we start take picture of graffiti art and also our own photo there to prove that we have went down. We spent almost 1 hour there, these graffiti art are so dazzling until we don't feel like going back. After we see all tis, we just realise that graffiti art is not only using words to represent something butalso using figure.

This is the second week we continue on the project 3, since this week  still is our holiday, so we will continue focus on research about graffiti to understand more deeply about the history and meaning behind the Malaysia graffiti. We also find out the crews that are famous in spraying graffiti to  collect their  personal  information and research on their artworks because we have to choose 2 of them for an interview to share their experience and telling the story behind them for become a graffiti artists. After that,We also reference on where are the graffiti apply their artwork except to just only on wall since KL city are not that many walls to let them represent their idea.
