Graffiti !












Do you know the art of graffiti ?
Here at Colbert, some pupils of 4eme are very lucky. They have the opportunity to welcome an artist of Reims in their art classroom for a few. He signs his artistic productions with the pseudo SER but his real name is Najime HOCINI. He’s a graffiti artist.
He has been invited by the city of Reims to join an artistic and sociologic project which takes place in Orgeval. He will produce a large fresco made of graffiti on a big wall in the heart of the neighborhood,precisely at the bottom of the big chimney which warms all the houses of Orgeval.

The fresco holds greatness in store! Nothing less than 50 meters long and 4 meters high!
The project is not only the work of Najime HOCINI. The inhabitants of Orgeval are invited to take part in the work, aiming at learning to discover the art of graffiti, and leaving a message on the wall.
The fresco is made to welcome the new tramway in the district. This is a real revolution for Orgeval, and that will completely transform the way people move from one place to the other. It will be easier for them to reach the city center, and to have access to the shops, cultural places, cinemas, parks, mueeums… They will not be isolated anymore. It’s a real metamorphosis for the neighborhood of Orgeval.

With Najime HOCINI, the pupils of 4D of Colbert will leave their track on the wall and be part of the city history!
