History of the Subway

A couple of weeks ago I went down to visit Karen at her school. Her third grade class had just finished a six month study of the NYC subway. It was a great social studies project- she's now a veritable font of subway information. Anyway, to celebrate the end of the study, the kids made a big book of watercolors celebrating the creation of the subway system- some of the pages were just amazing. I love the different shades of color blending into each other. [Related: visitors often ask questions about the street art project I'm running on Flickr and Typepad. As I've been pursuing the project for the last six months, I've done a lot of thinking about what street art is, and what differentiates it from graffiti and other stuff you see on the street. Today I'm posting the first in a series of diagrams that attempt to make my ideas about street art clear.]
