Context:
Earlier
this
week,
students
were
asked
to
find
one
or
more
examples
of
street
art
around
Montreal
by
searching
online
and
then
email
these
examples
to
me
so
that
I
could
compile
them
into
a
power
point.
Students
were
asked
to
prepare
a
short
oral
presentation
on
the
piece(s)
of
street
art
they
selected
outlining
the
following:
info
about
the
artist,
info
about
the
location
and
how
the
piece
contrasts/compares
to
the
surrounding
environment,
their
reasons
for
choosing
this
particular
piece,
and
an
analysis
of
the
piece
with
attention
to
political
and
social
messages.
