Street Daylight Kevin Peterson Analysis

“Street art is omnipresent in urban streets and is a rish source of inspiration for artistic creativity. . . It possesses the aesthetic voices of the ordinary and enables resistance for the marginalized. Banksy’s street art, in particular, can guide students to think about various social and political issues and to reflect upon the immediate, if not unjust, world in which they live, to transform that world, and to

His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humor with graffiti done in a distinctive stenciling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

According to Boyd, through Graffiti is essential to understand as a form of art that crosses the boundaries of location, method, and motivation. He acknowledges that graffiti might include “racist remarks, empty slogans and illegal signatures.”(Boyd 251) Boyd’s piece is also very informative because according to the author, there are two methods for creating this form of art: murals and tagging. The most popular one is tagging because it can be found almost everywhere from fence posts to trains, street walls to buses. The main goal of graffiti writers is to put their signature tags in places to be recognized by their

Although books full of words are more efficient in delivering and describing what the author feels, sometimes pictures can give a deep meaning depending on how they are organized. The Veil by Marjane Satrapi’s is a graphic novel that’s organized in a particular way, to deliver a certain message through the pictures. Marjane includes different sizes and frames that serve what she is thinking and feeling. Choosing certain sizes, frames and colours isn’t arbitrary. As each box increases in size, it means that she wants to emphasize the message behind that box, or show her relation to that particular text. Contrast is also one of the main elements that Marjane uses in her graphic novel. For example, on page five, there is a big picture of

As a formal analysis, this artwork has a figure in the center of the page, which can be assumed to be the focal point due to its positioning in the center of the picture plane. Also, this artwork is monochromatic, and the only color used is the hue green. Towards the top left-hand corner, there are darker shades of green, which make this part seem to be in front of the rest of the picture by using overlapping to convey depth. Also, towards the right side of the picture, the people seem lighter and appear farther away than the dark shaded buildings Additionally, since the figure in the center of the work is larger and more detailed than the other figures, it appears that the center figure is closer to the viewer.

Paul Klee and his works are a direct representation of 20th century art. Klee’s roots in Futurism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism combined with his natural gift for drawing make him truly one of the most unique abstract artists of his time. Most artists of the time were trying to break away from traditional concrete artwork, however few succeeded with such natural beauty and talent like the simplicity of Klee’s paintings. Klee’s connection to 20th century art can be summed up in one quote by the famous artist: “art does not represent the visible; rather it renders visible (the

Bobby starts to spray graffiti on the wall and then all the thoughts just starts rushing through his mind. With all these thoughts Bobby just starts expressing them in his art work. He shows Bobby and K-Boy climbing the fire escape tying kites to a clothesline, Bobby and J.L. at the museum of Natural History in the shadows, Bobby on the beach in Jamaica with his brothers, Bobby's mom taking photographs, Bobby being a pale ghost boy at the basketball courts, and a baby with no face. The graffiti shows his emotions towards things like him being a ghost boy or the baby with no face.

Paul “Moose” Curtis has found himself immersed within the unusual and incredible art of reverse graffiti. Instead of using aerosol paint to create murals on walls, Moose uses a pressure washer to remove the dirt and grime from the wall eventuating a creation of ravishing images of pattern. This new art form is evolving into a mad craze all over the world. This is the story of Moose.

Another attracting feature of this painting is that it appeals to your emotional side. Personally, I have an elder sister and we share a connection that is really rare. I have a picture of her, holding me as a baby with a huge smile on her face and this painting ultimately reminds me of that; giving me nothing but pleasant memories. That is what William is trying to do here. He uses the soothing and caring facial expression of the young lady together with the tenderness of the sleeping baby to capture his viewers and appeal to their caring and emotional side.

Jean-Michel Basquiat emerged from the punk scene in New York as a street-smart graffiti artist. He successfully crossed over his downtown origins to the international art gallery circuit. Basquiat’s work is one of the few examples of how an early 1980’s American graffiti-based could become a fully recognized artist. Despite his work’s unstudied appearance, Basquiat very skillfully and purposefully brought together in his art a host of disparate traditions, practices and styles to create a unique kind of visual collage. His work is an example of how American artists of the 1980’s could reintroduce the human figure in their work after the wide success of minimalism and conceptualism.

The second part of the painting depicts an auction. She is being held up in shackles, the baby still on her back while slave owners bid on her. The colors are darker, black and dark green, representing a shift in the mood of the painting. The barbarian man is wearing a confederate flag

On the other wall, the bad city has a decaying, cramped appearance. This is a city that's being destroyed. In the bad city, the artist made the crime clearly visible, and the bad
