GrC: Walk Down Brick Lane

On July 8th, we made a field trip to Brick Lane for our humanities class. Professor Makey had previously shown us a video in class that gave us a brief history of the street we would be walking down. We arrived on Brick Lane just before noon, and because Brick Lane is known for its Bangladeshi community, we were determined to find some Indian food to eat! However, what interested me most during our walk down Brick Lane was the street art.


What I liked most about the street art were the bold lines and colors used, especially in the picture directly below. I also like that the drawings tended to be very abstract. The disorder is unique and makes each of the drawings stand out. 


In this image below, I liked the repetition used of the blank faces. Who the face is supposed to be is a mystery to me but the combination of the many faces caught my eye. I also found it interesting that there were so many images posted and drawn on top of each other, it is another mystery as to what other drawings and stickers might be under what is showing now.
