Street Art

Qualities that i noticed in the documentary that i can transfer into my own work is how unique all of the artists were from eachother and how they all had different art styles and how they all kind of had different little messages in their art. I also noticed that they were very passionate about what they did as artists. even though mr. Brainwash wasnt an artist at first but simply a filmer, he had to film every little thing like i dont think the camera ever leaves his hand everyday, showing that he was passionate about what he did. All of the artists were awesome and usually documentaries are really boring but surprisingly i enjoyed watching this one.

What amazed me about the artists work was how creative it is, and how dangerous it really is to put artwork like theirs all over the world on tall buildings and walls how they do, not only because theres a good chance you could get hurt but also the fact that its illeagle and if they were to be caught they would be arrested. What also amazed me is how good their art actually is, like when you hear someone say "graffiti" or even street art you might think like its trashy, looks bad or maybe even like gang affiliated. even though they get what they want to put up fairly quick because of the authorities or even people seeing, everything they do looks pretty proffessional but still has the graffiti kind of concept, if that makes any sense. After watching this documentary i realized that ive actually seen some of the artwork around downtown area, i always see the andre the giant stickers and stencils.

The artists used there crafts to convey a message by taking original pictures of past famous political people and changing the picture up to in a way make fun of the government. or to even be sarcastic about the way things are in our everyday life for example, in one of the art pieces there is a little girl searching a soldier like they do at airports and big events instead of the authority or security guard, whoever it might be doing the same to the little girl or to any other person. I think that alot of art pieces that these artists put up everywhere though have no meaning and are just purely imagination. I thought it was really cool how each artist had their own little signature character that they were known for, like space invader and his video game pixel people, and the andre the giant has a posse guy.
