BANKSY’S STREET ART

Cette séquence pédagogique fait suite à l’étude de Nighthawks d’Edward Hopper.

OBJECTIFS : présenter un artiste anglais contemporain, exprimer une éventualité,   lire l’image, donner une opinion.

1. Les élèves comparent Nighthawks d’Edward Hopper (1942) et la parodie (subverted/modified painting) réalisée par Banksy (2005).

                    Nighthawks by Banksy          

                     

	NIGHTHAWKS BY Edward HOPPER	NIGHTHAWKS BY BANKSY
SCENERY	a street, a coffee bar	a street, a coffee bar
NUMBER OF CHARACTERS	four : three customers and a waiter	five : three customers, a waiter and an English football hooligan outside.
THE CHARACTERS’ ATTITUDE	None of the three customers is apparently looking or talking to the other but instead is lost in their own thoughts. Looking up from his work, the waiter appears to be peering out of the window past the customers.	They are all looking at the hooligan.
THE FIFTH CHARACTER What does he look like ? What has he just done ?		He is dressed only in his Union Jack underpants. He is shaking his fist and looks threatening; he has just thrown two chairs through the window pane. It is cracked.
THE PAINTER’S MESSAGE	Hopper wants to show the loneliness of a large city, incommunicability, emptiness.	Banksy’s purpose is to subvert Hopper’s painting to show that violence is everywhere, anybody can be affected by violence.

Synthèse : expansion de phrases avec l’utilisation de whereas. Exemple : In Hopper’s painting there are four characters whereas in Banksy’s there are five.

2. A

FEW FACTS ABOUT BANKSY

Banksy is a well-known graffiti artist, who prefers to stay anonymous because graffiti is illegal in the UK , so there is uncertainty about his identity and biographical details. His real name may be Robert Banks. He is believed to be born near Bristol and his year of birth has been given as 1974. He is said to be the son of a photocopier engineer. He probably trained as a butcher then started drawing graffiti during the late 1980s. His artwork, which combines graffiti with stencilling technique, soon appeared on walls and bridges throughout London and in cities around the world. It is assumed he uses computers to create the images in his stencils as they look very photorealistic. He also makes sculptures (The murdered phonebox), produces subverted paintings (E. Hopper’s Nighthawks) and stunts (for example, at London zoo, he climbed into the penguin cage and painted « We’re bored of fish » in enormous letters; he hung some of his humorous works in New York museums). Steve Lazarides, who is Banksy’s agent, has a gallery in London ’s Soho , where originals can be bought.  Banksy has also self-published several books that contain photos of his art in various countries as well as some of his canvas work and exhibitions. Some of his works can be seen on his official website. In February 2007, Sotheby’s auction house in London sold three Banksy creations, reaching the highest ever price for a Banksy work at auction : over £ 102,000 for his Bombing Middle England. VOCABULARY : stencil : pochoir stunt : cascade, ici : évènement provocant, réalisé à des fins publicitaires canvas : toile auction : enchères
