Street art
Street Art is the genre of art that occurs environmentally on visible property. The term stems from a grass roots perspective that art has a right to appear in any and all physical settings. Types of street art ranges in medium and format, though they all share a few characteristics in common.
- Non-commercial - most artwork is created as a personal message to the public.
- Permanence - mediums and methods used so that the art work can endure weather, wear, and sometimes intentional removal attempts.
Sometimes Street Art is referred to as Graffiti. Though this term is indistinguishable to some artists, others consider it a derision toward the idea that Street Art is unwelcome and/or illegal.
