The Colorful Walls of Argentina

Buenos Aires, Argentina, does not hold its name very true (good aires) between the smoggy skies and the smell of garbage (both burning and soggy), but is very proud of several cultural things: soccer, wine, beef, and oddly enough graffiti.  To fully understand the depth and beauty of this so called "delinquent" art style, the class decided to take a tour of some pieces created legally (loosely defined) to inspire ourselves for the graffiti workshop to come (how to make stencil tags).
