My ART 202 students are studying collage aesthetics in painting practice and we were discussing how artists bring real life into the studio, and the reverse: artists bringing the studio out into real life. Of course we looked at Banksy’s latest contribution to Guerrilla Art in which the little girl from Les Miserables is crying in front of a French flag as tear gas rises from a canister on the ground.

The mural is one of several pieces in which Bansky addresses conditions and abuses at the Calais refugee camp.
One of the other murals in his series depicts the late Steve Jobs (himself the son of Syrian immigrants)on one of the Calais camp walls.
