Went off without a hitch. It was a little obvious that it was us. Meaning the artists were easily spotted and identified. However I think the point got across that it was shocking and unexpected to see at school. I would never think of someone painting on the UW Bothell campus and neither did the students we had. The culture of graffiti is not known to Bothell and that is why we brought it there. We wanted people maybe not exposed to it in there everyday to feel how it feels to see and be up close to this way of life. Graffiti is accepted in Seattle, New York, industrial areas, destroyed sites but why not at Bothell. I did not see any graffiti anywhere in the city of Bothell ever. Why isn’t it accepted? Is it because it is the suburbs, more of a nicer neighborhood, it’s looked down upon by the elite of Bothell. Everyone needs to express themselves. I think that Bothell thinks that they are secluded from everything, crime, destruction, they are living in a bubble like bubble boy. Bothell and bubble boy are similar in many ways. They are both living in a secluded world except that bubble boy wants to experience the world and Bothell just wants to be the perfect city.
