-- Pavement art and 3-D illusions of Kurt WennerBy Wenner, Kurt2011., Sterling Signature Call No: 741.092 WEN Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Making a street painting is a lot like constructing a sand castle: while working on one part, another part is eroding... Street painting is a constant reminder that art is about process rather than product." -- Kurt Wenner Asphalt Renaissancebrilliantly recounts the re-imagining of street painting by innovative artist and Internet sensation Kurt Wenner. Wenner revolutionized this ancient art by creating a technique that produces astounding images in 3-D--images that reach out of the pavement toward the viewer and appear perilously deep. Featuring photographs of hundreds of his paintings, this volume spans Wenner's career and captures his thoughts on art and the ephemeral nature of his work. (From the publisher)

By Wood, AlixJuvenile Call No: 709.173 2 Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Not all art is displayed in a museum. For example, yarn bombing or guerilla knitting grew out of a movement in Texas to use up old yarn. Today, city dwellers might walk outside to find trees, bike racks, or even mail boxes covered by intricately knitted covers. The result is colorful, fun, and easily removed. However, other street art--such as graffiti--isn't seen as so harmless. Through fact boxes and pointed questions, the main content asks readers to consider whether such displays are, in fact, art. Full-color photographs and a lively layout enhance the artistic concepts addressed.
