Graffiti School is the world's first fully illustrated graffiti
coursebook for college use. It opens with an exploration of
graffiti's background and history, from Pompeii to the Hip Hop
revolution to the present day, as well as how to stay on the right
side of the law. It then introduces modern-day graffiti media and
terminology, going on to conduct the reader through the process of
designing graffiti, setting out the possibilities and skills needed
to create a successful work on paper, ready to be transferred to a
wall. The author explains the practical techniques of using a spray
can, and the step-by-step methods and skills required to create
artistic graffiti. The final section is a manual designed
specifically to be of use to teachers. It gives ideas for running
both theoretical and practical graffiti lessons and units, as well
as providing suggestions on the details, such as marking schemes
and ideas for class trips.

Arthur Wesley Dow taught at major American arts training
institutions for 30 years including Teachers College, Columbia
University; the Art Students League of New York; Pratt Institute;
and his own Ipswich Summer School of Art. His ideas were quite
revolutionary for the period, he taught that rather than copying
nature, art should be created by elements of the composition, like
line, mass and color. He taught many of America's leading artists
and craftspeople, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles J. Martin,
two of the Overbeck Sisters and the Byrdcliffe Colony.
