Street+art

= Street Art =

One of the more recent forms of art to emerge is the immensely popular street-art. For thousands of years, people have had an urge to leave their mark on their surroundings in an illegal way, from cavemen painting animals, to the gladiators ofRomewho left expressions like “I am Crescens, the nocturnal netter of young ladies.” Now, artists like Banksy still leave their mark on the streets, except with spray paint and stickers instead of carvings. Street art has enjoyed enormous popularity since it is a medium which young people everywhere can connect to, and produce themselves. There are also many types of street art, like LED art, sticker art, stencil art, wheat pasting and more. Although these are all illegal activities, they have become an apt way to make political statements, and in turn, art.
