Having to put up boards isn't really what i wanted to do..there's something about it that doesnt feel permanent. I've always considered that this could be the way to get around it all, considering the classifiaction and architecture of the whole site. Graffiti as we know it started on trains, it then was pushed onto the streets, onto walls, now boards are used in competitions, shows, and even walls around the UK, for example the walls in Southbank are actually boards.
After contacting the writers who have agrred to b involved (those who have so far replied) haven't got a problem with painting on boards which is quite a relief because i want them to feel like they're painting for a purpose and a cause. Not just for the sake of painting on any old wall.
My stand is that i want something permanent, i want future students to think that other avenues of art are being given the attention needed. So i suppose it comes down to the question of how long Chelsea are willing to kep the boards up for. All i can do now is to put as much into it as possible to give the impression that this is a worthy asset for the encouragement of art and design in different disciplines.

It does hinder it, man, but don't drift away from your cause, which is just a school project. Everything else goes well for you, so don't let that discourage you. As I said in a previous comment, it won't be permanent, but you won't have some people on your back, whom otherwise would have slowed u down.
