Banksy Inspired My 10-Year Old Daughter To Create Family-Friendly Street Art
Our family watched Banksy’s “Exit Through the Giftshop” together, and my 10-year-old daughter adamantly declared she wanted to be a street artist. I didn’t dig the idea of vandalism, but I also didn’t want to squash her excitement and creativity. So I picked up some rocks and together the family painted them with beastly faces and spread them around town.
We had so much fun, we did it again a few months later with painted sticks and then a third time with painted leaves.

This is one of the most delightful illustrated stories I've seen on BP! I loved "Exit Through the Giftshop," too. You should send your story, along with these photos, to Banksy in London -- they'll make him proud!

Wow, this is a great idea, your daughter is going to be an amazing artist someday.
Hi, love your story! What a fun idea! Start young with your children, create Art with them, and abandon for others to enjoy, teaching them the joy both of the creation and the unconditional giving. Do you know about the Art Abandonment group on Facebook? We all create and leave our Art for others to find, you might want to check it out.
No but I am now going off to check it out sounds brilliant
