Final Blog PresentationMarcos MoranMay 12, 2014Prof. Sears

BioMy name is Marcos. I am a student at the New York City College of Technology aka City Tech located in Brooklyn, NY. I am currently working on obtaining my Bachelor of Technology in Communication Design (Web Design), expecting to graduate by 2015

Developed my interest for street art during my first years in the city. Found it so fascinating. While I am not originally from the US, during my teenager years I was exposed and influenced by the North-American culture and icons (such as MTV)

Series PostsFor my series post assignment I blog about graffiti. I give a brief intro into the world of graffiti and then go over different topics related to it such as its history, milestones, evolution, and why many artists decide to keep their identities anonymous.

Peer’s Blog – Urban Arts and Hip-Hop

For this assignment I made a guest post on Jason Kahn’s blog http://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/90sforevahandevah/

and I briefly talk about the similarities and relationship between Hip-Hop and urban art.

ConclusionEven though I have always been a fan of graffiti and/or urban art, I did not had much knowledge about it. Coming across this class, and this assignment specifically, I feel I have learned so much just by blogging about a topic that actually interest me.
