Street Art

STREET ART

To be street art the art has to be created in a public space, usually in the streets.  Though this art is usually frowned upon like graffiti artwork, today it is becoming more popular and accepted.  When we think of street art today do not just consider graffiti, there are cities today that hire artist to decorate city streets and the side of buildings with historic or colorful paintings and murals.  Traditional graffiti artist primarily used spray paint and free hand to produce their works, but today there are many techniques such as posters, stencil art, murals, and wood blocking.  Practically all-large cities in the world host street art but some are responsible for the movement of accepting this type of work such as Berlin, Germany, London, England, Paris, France and Los Angeles, California.  Do you have street art in your town, I would love for you to share with us is so post a photo and share.
