For me, thinking abstract must begin somewhere simple. I was stumped when asked to create a piece of Guerilla Art, so I went to a Coffee Culture close to my house where I often go to do school work. After looking through some examples of Guerilla Art that online and with the inspiration of a friend, I came to a decision. 
I created a small poster that says "Smile, you look beautiful" in bright, colourful writing with flowers and smiley faces and posted it in the female washroom at this coffee shop near my house. After posting my sign in the washroom, I caught another person looking at it as I waited for my friend. This person giggled and had a huge smile on her face. My Guerilla Art put a smile on someones face, and I left it there in hopes to brighten up the smiles of others.
Art word of the week: S P A C E
Space is the amount of room given to arrange physical elements, or the lack of room left in between physical objects. Guerilla Art has a big connection to space. Artists have all the space in the world to display their art work, and it is up to them to decide how much of it to use. Guerilla Art can be spread across the biggest space possible, posting it in different countries, or in a small space by posting it within one room.
Within the field of ECE, forms of Guerilla Art are displayed in the classroom when educators post children's art work in the classroom. As children create art work, they are creating an image that depicts howthey are feeling or a message they are trying to send. Educators can make more specific forms of Guerilla art and venture out into the community or onto the play ground to post childrens work. This is a fun and easy way of sharing children's creativity with friends, family, and the community.
