Teacher- The Street Artist

Teacher is a street artist from LA since 2011. His initial inspiration came from budget cuts in the public school education system and wanted to take a public stance on how he felt that was wrong. His mission is to protect future generations, especially because he is a father and fears the world his children may grow up in. Below is a link to website that you can read more about his but I have also attached a video that is on the webpage as well to this post. Lastly, what caught my attention most was the quote Teacher says in his video below. I thought it was interesting how public art may reach more people than art that takes place in ‘typical art spaces’.

“If you want to reach more people, put it on the street”

-Teacher
