From Spray Can to Light

Street Graffiti
This is a picture of street graffiti created by the artist, Banksy. This picture really caught my eye because it isn't the usual type of abstract graffiti you see on the streets. This work of art is something different and makes you stop and think about what it means. This was created to catch people's eye and communicate it's message to them. This piece of art has a 3D effect and used the the essence of a brick wall to make the 3D effect on street graffiti more effective. It really is a beautiful piece of work because it isn't the typical type of street graffiti you usually see; and it really grabs your attention. It's sending out a deeper message about working maids and uses captivating techniques in order for you to really appreciate this work of art. You can really tell this artist spent a lot of time on this piece because of the detail and thought out process.


Light Graffiti 
As I was browsing through pictures of light graffiti, this one really caught my eye. This example of light graffiti really catches my attention because of the detail and 3D effect that it has. I've tried making light graffiti before, and it isn't as easy as it looks. To see light graffiti really come alive like this caught my attention. The techniques and artistic ability this person had to have amazes me. They used drawing of light to form this 3D care which makes it really stand out. The little effects of light and streaks of light in the background complete the picture by setting the mood of this picture. It helps exaggerate the speed of the car in a big city. 


Street vs. Light Graffiti
These two very different types of graffiti are both very artistic pictures. They are both pieces of art that two very different artist created. Both pictures involve a 3D effect which initially caught my eye. This 3D effect is extremely captivating and help us to really appreciate the picture since it stands out. The Street graffiti picture seems to have more detail and it creates a deeper message to attract the audience's attention. The light graffiti picture seems as though it's there just to express artistic ability and to catch a person's attention with this technique. Although these two pieces of artwork have two very different purposes, they are still an artistic creation and take a lot of talent and ability to create.

    Well thought out.
    My initial reactions for both is that they both caught my eye because they are not your typical graffitis. They are both 3D in a way. It does stands out and attracts the audience's attention.
    Hope that you enjoyed Media this year!
