Item description

Take a tour of the streets and street art of London, following an expert guide through the early afternoon as they take you both into East London for a course on photographic creativity. You'll start off from Old Street Underground Station, heading into the arty world of East London where practically any surface can be a canvas of one kind or another. You'll hear about some of the artists that are active in the area while being taught how to get the most out of your chosen cameras to capture every bit of light or colour you want to show off. From smaller tags to larger pieces and murals, there's a surprising world of art and complexity to the street art scene. Not all of it might be to your taste, but subjectivity is what art's all about. Whatever help you both need to get your pictures looking their best, your guide is there to help! You'll also receive a Banksy Street Art Book as a souvenir.
