For me the street art is an excellent way for deliver a message, denounce a cause which is not accepted by the society and in this case the street art is the best way because if the cause denouced in the work is not accepted by the society the work can't be put in a museum because it bothers. The street is therefore the most appropriate place as it's in full view of everyone. But the problem with the works of street art with a strong message but also with a works just decoratives it's that as the street art is in the street as in a plain view the work can't be appreciated by everyone.
If the cause which is denounced "is not accepted by the society", it can provoke conflicts or tensions so not necessarily "the best way".
Street Art is art in street so why must be in a museum? If Street Art is in a museum is just Art.
Street Art is not necessarily appreciated by everyone, same the graffiti has a strong message or the drawing is beautiful we have the right to not like it. Each people can chose if he like or not Street Art.
We surely need to keep street art in public places and make it open for everyone ! That's the best way to translate a message to someone or just to create something interesting and beautiful. Vandalism and street art are not the same thing.
I'd like to say "whose who fear music are dangerous" but for art in general, "whose who fear art are dangerous"..
If you can't enjoy street are you even capable to enjoy art in general ?
For me, Street Art is ART. It's not vandalism, in contrary of what some people may think.
It's a liberty of expression. You can deliver a message, or you can draw...
It is so amazing!
The street art is a beautiful for denounce a cause or deliver a message.
The street art is not accepted by the society because it can do conflicts in a people.
There are many people who appreciate these grafiti that are storing in the streets.
I think that we are lucky to live in a country where freedom of expression is part of our fundamental freedom. So why banish street art which is a visual art and allows us to think freely ? In addition to decorating a street, street art is much more to me than art. Having the right to express our opinion, both positive and negative, allows us to debate on various subjects of our society. This debate allows us to reflect, improving and re-create our society. For me, banning street art on the street is an attack on freedom of expression, which is essential in our democracy. Street art and art in general have a major role in our society. That’s why visibility in the eyes of all is I think necessary to touch the most of mind. Street art is part of our heritage so let’s let it live on the streets ! So as Wassily Kandinsky say it very well : « Art as a wole is not a goalless creation that flows into the void. It is a power whose must be to develop and improve the human soul. »
I really disagree with people who think and say that street art is not art.
For me, we can say that street art is, more than art, a proof of liberty.
We live in societies with so much rules and above all so much norms that we lose our liberty, step by step. We know we have to respect rules and obey to leaders: that's normal. But norms are a problem. They are even the biggest problem in our societies. Because if you don't respect norms, you don't go to jail, you don't have to pay a fine; so we think we are free. But if you choose to be totally free, if you stop obey to norms, you're ban from the society. You doesn't have the choice.
So I think street art is a symbol: each street artist stop to respect the rules and above all stop to respect the norms. A street artist is not a vandal, but a person who chose to stay free, to continue thinking freely, to keep her own ideas.
Street art is, more than art, a necessity.
Street art can't be in museums, because be in a museum, it's be in the norms, whereas street art is out the norms. And street is just a place of freedom.
That's my conclusion: we doesn't should keep street art in public spaces, we HAVE TO keep street art in public spaces. Because, if a day street art disappears from the streets, we'll can say we've lost our liberty.
For me, street art is an art where we show what we feel or the problems in the world to people, through drawings on the walls. Street art can also send us a message and I don't think we should ban it because everyone has the right to speak.
Is street art an art? Sreet art is a work, it could be sculpted, painted which denounces society, will show it in its true form, really. We are free to draw, to express ourselves, to say or to set up society, reality to others, this freedom allows us to express ourselves, we are free to do so, no law can prohibit this freedom, this freedom s calls for freedom of expression. People who prohibit us from doing street art prohibit us, take away this freedom, to be free, to express ourselves. In addition, drawing or sculpting on a wall in a public place is for everyone, it is not private property we have the right. The fact that sreet art works are stored in museums is normal, after all, a museum stores works and shows them to the public?
for me street art is a good thing because it allows you to express yourself on important subjects. Street art conveys important messages.
More artists can exhibit their work in the streets which is free so it's more accessible for people than in museums. Street art is beautiful and brings color to cities.
So, for me, street art is a real art.
I think street art is an art. It allows to give an opinion and to pass a message or quite simply to decorate a public space. For example, Banksy uses it to denounce strong messages about society.
Street art shows an opinion in the eyes of all.
It is a means of freedom of expression.
The street art is a great way to get a message across or to denocere Something. Some person finds that street art is Something good and that its decors the strelets but on the other hand find that the people who make his street degrade and that it is a Offence
Personally, I think that street art is really a good thing, whether it's for artists or just for people who see it. It's a good way to denounce something that we care about and we think is important or maybe just to decorate some wall. There are a lot of cities where street art has an important place ; like in Bristol, England. But, there are also big cities that are full of drawings that don't necessarily make sense but it's really beautiful ; as Miami where murals are decorating the districts.
For me, we can't ban street art because it's stay an expression way and if we do this, it's like we restrict freedom of expression and we would feel not free to do what we want to. I would have the impression that we setback in time and our rights would be limited.
