What is Street Art?
Let's talk about the origin of the term "street art" and it's history.
Street Art has always existed but has changed forms over the years. Street Art, before the 1960s, was not viewed as something beautiful since it was mostly represented by "graffiti's" or vulgar writings on walls. However, over the years, many different artists changed people's perception of street art by drawing more elaborate art works. We call this form of art "street art" because the drawings are drawn on street walls, pavements, signs and bridges.
The concept of street art is to enable painters, artists, students and writers let their imagination run wild and paint various symbols on walls. The art may illustrate a person, a political conflict or a drawing of an object. Many different techniques are used such as paint, spray paint, chalk and many more.
Street Art, since the 1980s, has become common in many big cities because it enabled people from different social backgrounds to participate in a common activity and demonstrate a common or different opinion. It also became a way to go against the normal conventions of art and integrate a new method of painting.
