Today we went on a guided tour of Melbournes alleyways which taught us a artistry behind graffiti/street art, and also the different types of it, such as bombing, slap ups, etc.
it also taught us about how, contrary to popular beleif, street art is not just mindless vandalism (in most cases), but is a form of artistic expression, and also is responsible for a large portion of Melbournes tourists.

Today we started our group work on our big Project, and also went to the big issue and learnt about homelessness and had a speaker tell us about homelessness and what its like, and his personal experiences with it. he told us about how he became homeless at seventeen, and quickly went on a downward spiral of drug and alcohol addiction and deppresion. it made you see a lot of the problems that homeless people face, and how we take things like our bed, shower, and meals for granted, when they have none of that.
