The picture we can see is a picture of street art , the artist who drew it in 2006 is Banksy . The title of the picture is « seen »  

On the left and one the right we can see policemen who try to catch the graffiti . The clothes of the policemen are black and the letters of the graffiti are yellow . We think the black  color is dark and worrying whereas the yellow looks  more friendly .                                                  

We think the graffiti represents policemen who try to stop street art but we can also see the graffiti envelops the policeman . So we think the picture represent the fight between the street art and justice  

Emilie’s  feeling(s) : «  I like it , I find the picture the picture of this graffiti is beautiful because street art fights of its liberty » Benjamin,Sophie and yisheng quite like the picture because they didn’t really like the style of street art  .   

Durant notre heure avec Monsieur le Maire du 13éme arrondissement, nous avons appris beaucoup de choses : 

-Il prévoit de faire du 13^ème un arrondissement dédié au Street Art, car il aime beaucoup ça, il trouve que ça attire les touristes, ça ne se démode pas… 

-Il s’agit de son idée, mais, si les habitants décident d’élire un autre Maire personne ne sait ce qu’il fera par rapport au Street Art. 

-Il y a une nouvelle œuvre, Boulevard Vincent Auriol, il essaie de toutes les regrouper au même endroit. 

-Le coût pour faire venir un artiste est entre 0 et 2000 euros. Il nous a dit qu’il ne payait pas les artistes, mais le monsieur de la galerie nous a expliqué qu’il payait les artistes 2000 euros. Mais le plus cher était le matériel ( nacelle si c’est un immeuble, la peinture…).

This work of art was made by Banksy but we don’t know where and when. The title is Stop Wars. This is a painting. Maybe he used stencil to make the stormtrooper. And to write the word « STAR WARS ». In his hand he has a brush and paint pot, in which there is red paint. On the letters « AR » of the word « STAR » he writes the letters « OP » to create the sentences « STOP WARS ». Maybe the red paint represents the blood of the wars. His message is clearly to tell people to stop the wars. He decides to represent a stormtrooper writing because they are soldiers. The main colors of the paint are black and white and yet that we see the most is the red. It’s a great message to all people and it’s a good ideas to represent this.

There is a stormtrooper who changed the name « Star Wars » to « Stop Wars » in red. The  

stormtrooper is carrying a bucket and a brush. He is trying to convey a message to stop war in the  

world because too many die because of wars.There are only three colours : the red , the black and     

 the white.  The red mean the blood of every people who died , the black , the dark side and the     

 sadness of the war and the white mean hope , peace and truth.  

To conclude this work of art is a message to the world to stop war because it hurts people when they   

 lose someone of their family or friends.  

For Jimmy the stormtrooper lost someone he loved and wants to stop the war. 

For Enzo this work of art is simple because Banksy has just remplaced the A and the R of Star by A O  

 and A P to make Stop.  

For Teo it’s sad because it represent death and blood , it could be exposed in a museum because it    

hangs on a wall. 

 For Victor , it’s a very simple but amazing work of art because a little change can  modify everything . 

Street art 

Le lundi 20 mars, un membre de la galerie itinérance nous a présenté des œuvres de S.A., des Street Artists célèbres comme Banksy ou Kobra et leur maniére de graffer leurs œuvres sur des murs. Il nous a expliqué que cela arrivait que des propriétaires de maisons, d’appartements ou autres batiments permettent aux Street Artists de peindre dessus mais quelques semaines après, juste avant que leur travail commence, les propriétaires disaient qu’ils n’en voulaient plus et cela causait des malentendus entre l’équipe et le propriétaire. 

This piece is an artwork of Banksy who shows two mens in banana suits. Maybe the Street Artist banksy would like to show the war inthe world and the banana suits would make this work more joyful. Originally consisted of the two men pointing bananas, rather than the firearms used in the film. 

At the bottom, I can see a black color and maybe a fire extinguisher at the left of the piece, I don’t know if the fire extinguisher is painted or if it is a real object. I can see also the number 7 on the fire extinguisher.
