STREET ART

1) I noticed that the artists really didn't care about how their art effected them. They were more concerned about whether or not it was effecting society. They didn't worry about money, or about becoming famous, and in a lot of cases the artists even strives to keep their identities a secret. They did try to get there art out there as much as possible but they were not promoting themselves as individuals to get praise, they were promoting their cause. When doing our work we should definitely feed off of this and always keep in mind why we are doing this art piece. We are trying to accomplish a mission and trying to do it by reaching out to people. I feel like the more we can remember that every step of the way, the better impact our statement will have in the end.

2) What I found very interesting about the various works done by all of the different artists was how simple some of the things were. Some ideas were very simple but they still produced a mass outcome. However, even though some of the ideas were very simple, every artist took every aspect of what they were doing very seriously. They certainly had fun with it, because it was an enjoyable experience but each one of them had an extremely evident passion for what they were doing. I also found it cool how the artists were all able to come up with a signature style of art. Even though the genre of all of their work was technically categorized as street art, you were definitely able to decipher what work belonged to who.

3) A big part of what I though the artists proved necessary to get their point across was getting their work out there everywhere that they could. Even if you have the most amazing art piece ever with a completely moving message that could change the world, if nobody ever sees it then it is a waste, and the artists knew this. Another key is also making their work stand out, and doing outrageous things. If someone sees your work and it looks just like any other piece of art they could see somewhere else they will not think it is worth their time to stop and look at it. It also helps when not only your art, but also how it came about is unique. When you take it upon yourself to put your art in a gallery where it does not belong people start to talk. You become news and that makes more people interested in what you have to say.
