Last month to celebrate the end of school, I took Cruzzie and his friends to a graffiti workshop in Brooklyn. I thought it would be a fun and unique outing — something different — and sure enough it was. We were all a little skeptical (the teacher was late and the building that the class was in was a little unusual), that said, it was so fun and the boys had a great time and learned so much. I highly recommend — but if you do it, just know that there might be a couple kinks but it will all work out.

A quick background on the history of graffiti and then a lesson on how to do it.

Started off with different techniques on paper. Then they were able to work on the walls.

More time to practice their techniques — it is SUPER hard — NOT easy!!!

They came up with a group name, and designed their own banner.

The final product. I was super impressed.
A great winter activity to do if in New York City! Fun for boys and girls, and anyone wanting to do something fun and different.
