I’m about to talk about the difference between street art, graffiti and vandalism. First I want to make it clear that there is no difference.

Street art and graffiti are just different words for the same thing. The people who do it are called ‘artists’ and the people who don’t like it are called ‘idiots’. Both of them have a point.

You might think that street art is all bright colours with pretty pictures but in reality, it’s not. Often, it’s just a tag, with no artistic value at all. Some tags are done by many different artists and are considered to be street art but others can be done by one person and they’re just vandalism.

Street art is supposed to be mainly in urban areas like cities, parks or wherever but some parts of London have even seen graffiti on the top of buses or above tube station entrances.

There are some people who claim that graffiti is simply vandalism and vandalism has no place in the art world. I disagree. There is a distinct difference between street art, graffiti and vandalism and it is my goal to point out what that difference is with this blog.

I define Street Art and Graffiti in an attempt to distinguish between art and vandalism. I define street art as a design or message that is meant to be seen by the public, but does not necessarily need to be permanent. Some of these works are created as a tribute to others or for political purposes. Street Art is often associated with Banksy, a famous British Street Artist. I also define graffiti as a design painted on a wall that usually has no political or artistic purpose. Graffiti is usually done by tagging other people’s artwork, which is known as defacing property. Vandalism is defined as the action of any individual who destroys or defaces other people’s property without consent. With commentary from “The Art Of Getting Over,” by Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan.”

I have been noticing the difference for a little while now and I wanted to document what I noticed. This is not a slam on street art or graffiti, I just think it’s interesting.

Street art is public display of art in an urban environment. It is done by permission of the property owner and usually involves painting, sculpture, or installation. Street art is created for public viewing. Vandalism is public display of art in an urban environment without permission of the property owner. It is usually done with paint or markers and in places where other people do not want to see it. Vandalism is created for the perpetrator’s own viewing pleasure and to cause others distress or discomfort.

Street art can be considered vandalism if it causes distress to others or if it was not done with permission of the property owner. But there are many examples of street art that no one would consider vandalism, even though they were both created in public view.

As far as I know you can’t be arrested for creating street art unless you create it in a way that makes someone else feel threatened or intimidated (IE tagging someone else’s name on your street art). You can be arrested for vandalism even if no one feels threatened or intimidated by your work, because it has been done without permission

Street art and graffiti have been around for decades, but it is only in recent years that they are becoming more accepted. However, the differences between street art and graffiti still remains a matter of debate.

What Is Street Art? The term “street art” is often used to describe a variety of different works such as stencils, wheatpastes (posters made from wheat flour and water), graffiti paintings, sculptures and installation pieces. These works are usually created illegally on public property such as walls and billboards.

Street artists tend to use public space as their canvas to make their point with the general public. Street art is also known as urban art or guerrilla art. According to Wikipedia, this form of “art is practiced in many countries with legal murals being increasingly common in urban areas worldwide.”

What Is Graffiti? This term refers to images or words painted on surfaces in a public place. They are usually applied illicitly on property without the consent of the owner. The most common places where graffiti is seen are the sides of buildings, train cars and buses, bridges, tunnels or freeway overpasses. Graffiti may be a form of visual expression or it may mark gang territory. It can be an act of civil disobedience meant to draw attention to an

Street Art and Graffiti are often confused. They are more similar than you may think, but they are also very different. Here is your guide to the difference between street art and graffiti.

Street art refers to a type of modern art that is created in public locations, usually unsanctioned, and frequently illegal. Street art may use graffiti-like techniques, but it is not the same thing as graffiti.

Street art was popularized by Keith Haring, who in the 1980s would draw chalk outlines of his figures on city streets and sidewalks, then fill them in with bold, bright colors of paint or ink. He would then add words to his drawings; his works expressed social heath issues such as AIDS and homelessness. Haring became an overnight success after he was given permission by the director of New York’s P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center to display his work in the museum’s lobby. The exhibit broke attendance records for the museum; it also caught the attention of critics who had previously ignored him because of his use of illegal public locations for his work.

Tagging is what many people consider graffiti to be: the scrawling of one’s name on walls or other surfaces in public places without permission from the owner and without any artistic element involved

Street art is often used to describe murals, graffiti, stencils and wheat pasting. It is considered unfashionable and illegal in most cases. Graffiti on the other hand is considered to be more artistic, colorful and eye-catching than street art. Graffiti can be considered as a form of political expression. Stencils and wheat pasting are also considered to be street art but less so than murals or graffiti. A person who creates graffiti, street art or stencils is called a graffiti artist or street artist.

A lot of people confuse these three words. If a person does not know the difference between them it will not affect them in any way but if they do know the difference then it could possibly harm them.

There are many steps one has to take when deciding which word to use for a piece of art that has been created illegally on a wall or building, for example: did the person who created it make a profit from it? Was it made to express an opinion? Is the piece beautiful?If you answered no to all those questions then it is most likely illegal street art.
