The purpose of this course is to provide students a better social and aesthetical criterion about the culture of graffiti and Street Art, whose purpose is to enrich their knowledge about the possibilities which offer the different urban areas for the practice of the latter creative and artistic trends. In this regard this course is addressed mainly to students of Humanities and Fine Arts, but any other students also can enrol in this course.

In the course we propose you a chronological journey that will explain you the visual and social precedents that allow the birth of both phenomena in the 60s; we will deep into the creative contributions and the channels that promote its establishment during the 70s, as well as its global expansion since the 80s until today.

The course will analyse the main aesthetical, attitudinal and social aspects reflected on the redefinition process of urban spaces, of materials and supports, as well as of the recycling of visual mass cultures.
