For activity three, we had to write an artist profile for Banksy. Banksy is a well-known artist but no one really knows who he is. I enjoyed getting to learn more about the street artist (NOT GRAFFITIST!) because I didn't know much. I found it challenging to make an artist profile because I didn't really know how to do it. To be BTB (Better Than Before) I could add more facts.
Banksy
This un-named graffitist turned street artist is believed to be called Robin Gunnningham. Banksy lives in
Britain and chooses to use stencils rather than painting freehand.
He has been around for 47 years, his most expensive painting selling for $12.2 million. The expensive
painting, called ‘Devolved Parliament’, is a picture of monkeys in the place of members of parliament.
His most famous painting, ‘Girl with Balloon’, had a shredder inside it so when it was sold it just shredded!
