BLACK BOOK MASTER CLASS WITH STYLE MASTER PART ONE TDS

Hi-ARTS, the producers of the Hip-Hop Theater Festival, will launch a free, unique, six-week Black Book Master Class series for young people ages 14-18 years old, taught by the influential graffiti Style Master, Enrique “PART ONE” Torres.
During this course, students will receive their own personal black book, colored pencils, and marker- sets, learn various graffiti techniques such as lettering, penciling and color theory. Several guest speakers will also impart professional development knowledge from various creative industries and offer excellent networking opportunities. Upon the conclusion of the course, Hi-ARTS will present an exhibition of students’ work at our space in East Harlem/El Barrio.
PART ONE is a veteran of the golden years of New York City subway painting and considered a style master in the graffiti world. His specialty is his own unique brand of lettering, which he began to develop in 1974. From 1974 – 1985, he was one of the most accomplished artists on the New York City subway trains.
