Graffiti is seen as a form of personal artistic expression, but some people regard it as an act of vandalism while others said it is a medium to respond to society. It’s been widely accepted as an essential street art forms now in many cities. Have you ever seen the graffiti at the old GE offices situated at May Hall and Pao Siu Loong Building done in the past 2 decades by MC Yan and students?
This summer, Tim@Smile Maker, the local graffiti artist will lead you to create the graffiti wall at the brand new GE Gatherland at Main Building where you can inject your creativity and imagination into the space.
In addition to co-creating graffiti wall, the instructor will also teach you to design and produce personal works (Graffiti Tag and Bubble Letter) in this 3-session workshop.
塗鴉(Graffiti)，被形容為極具個人特色的藝術創作，有人視之為破壞，也有人以此作為回應社會的一種媒介，成為很多城市隨處可見的街頭藝術。你有見過由MC仁與同學共創、分別位於通識舊址梅堂和包兆龍樓的塗鴉嗎？
今個夏天，本地塗鴉藝術家 Tim@Smile Maker，將帶領同學創作塗鴉！本部大樓全新的通識GE Gatherland的玻璃幕牆將成為你的「畫布」，讓你注入對這個空間、這個地方的無限創意與想像。
工作坊合共三節，除共同創作塗鴉牆外，導師亦會教授同學設計及製作個人作品(Graffiti Tag 及 Bubble Letter)。

Tim，Smile Maker成員之一，自2004年開始接觸Graffiti及Street Art，從不斷學習的過程中帶來無比喜悅及滿足感。喜愛大自然，喜歡從閱讀和文字上得到創作靈感。2006年加入蒲窩塗鴉隊PDW，藉此推廣及爭取塗鴉在香港的合法平台，改變市民大眾對街頭文化的目光，並讓他們重新認識塗鴉的內在價值。2013年成立Smile Maker，希望透過富趣味及正面意義的塗鴉課程，讓更多人認識塗鴉的文化理念，除擔任塗鴉老師及參與各式社區藝術推廣外，Tim亦曾於英國、西班牙等歐洲國家進行塗鴉文化交流。http://www.smilemaker.hk/blog/2016/2/27/sense-of-distance
