Street Art

Some qualities that I noticed and can transfer into my own art are that they are not super fancy or super well drawn, most are just sort of out lines or sketches.  Also that most only use one or two colors not a hole array of them.  They were also very strange and unique like something you normally wouldn't think about doing or drawing.  They were very simple but eye catching,  they made you look and look again and want to take picture because of how strange and unique they were.


Some of the things that most amazed me were how much of a risk they took, the size of them and how a lot of people thought that they were vandals and bad people.  They tried to arrest them when they should be applauding them, they are opening our eyes up to a new style of art that may be considered vandalism when it is art that actually contributes something to the world.  Also the simplicity of it but it conveyed such a much bigger message than other more complex paintings.


The artists used their craft to convey their message by making it strange and eye catching.  In doing this they make you think about it and see the real meaning.  They also make it very large and prominent so you always see it.  They even go to great lengths such as climbing on steep roof tops and climbing up on bill boards so they can get it in a point were it is harder to take away their picture.
