STREET ART - images
When people think of street art, incorrectly generalized as graffiti, they instantly identify it as an illegal act of vandalism which has destroyed the natural beauty of neighbourhoods. While some street art is technically unlawful, the aesthetic quality of various artworks presented on sidewalks and buildings merely shed light on the genuine talent in which these artists possess. Street artists often tend to create artworks budding from an idea or value prevalent in their mind; sometimes involving political views, questioning social comments, or simply based on a 'cool' idea.
Included above is a link directed to a site demonstrating the beauty of various artworks done all over the world. When viewing these photos keep in mind that everything is done on a two-dimetional surface - it's quite impressive.
Personally, I strongly oppose the general public's assmption that this type or artwork is rebellious and grotesque in contrast to the natural beauty of citys' structure. But rather that it simply adds to the splendor of neighborhoods, by inviting colour into the general grayescale hue possessed by our city streets and buildings.

Definitely an important topic - is street art a creditable art form? Sometimes I think about the purpose of the art? Why did the artist choose to do that piece in a specific spot? Does that change things? What do you think?
ReplyDeletei love street art
ReplyDeleteI think that street art is a creditable form of art as long as people have permission to put it there and that the art form is not offensive to someone else. The artist probably choose to put his art in that spot because it looks like a popular spot where lots of people would see the art form.
