Discovering Street Art
Street art is a form of art that is created in public spaces, using various artistic techniques. These techniques include but are not limited to graffiti, stencil art, murals, and installations. The tools used may vary depending on the technique, but some of the most popular ones are spray paint, markers, stickers, and wheatpaste.
One of the most common techniques used in street art is graffiti. Graffiti is created by spraying paint onto a surface, usually a wall, to create a design or message. Graffiti artists use different nozzles and caps to control the spray of the paint and create different effects.
Another technique is stencil art, which involves creating a stencil of a design or image and then using spray paint to apply the design to a surface. This can be a quick and effective way to create a large-scale image.
Murals are another popular technique used in street art. A mural is a large-scale painting that covers a whole wall or building. Murals can be created using various techniques, including paint, spray paint, and mosaics.
Installations involve creating a three-dimensional piece of art that is placed in a public space. This can include sculptures, interactive pieces, and even performances.
Street art techniques are not limited to the ones mentioned above. There are many other techniques that artists use to create their works. The important thing is that the technique used is appropriate for the message that the artist wants to convey. The technique used can also depend on the location and available resources. For example, an artist may use stickers to create a piece of street art because it is quick and easy to apply, and the stickers can be easily removed if necessary.
Overall, street art is a diverse art form that uses a variety of techniques to create art in public spaces. The choice of technique depends on the artist's message, the location, and available resources. The techniques used in street art continue to evolve as artists experiment with new methods and materials.
