Blog Entry #4: From Spray Can to light: Graffiti Revisited.

This is my favourite example of light graffiti.



I like this example of light graffiti because it is very colourful and the lines everywhere make it look amazing. The direction is oblique which makes the picture filled with action and movement. The colours look like they are in perfect harmony and the lines look like they are all connected in unity. This is my favourite example of light graffiti.

This is my favourite example of street graffiti.



I like this example of street graffiti because it is creative and amusing. It is funny because Spongebob is one of my favourite cartoon shows and someone created a giant Spongebob on the wall. It is also very impressive that people can make such a good picture using spray paint and a canvas, which is the wall. It also gives me a smile because Spongebob is spraying a can of his own which makes him look like he made the other graffiti around him. This is my favourite example of street graffiti.

The light and street graffiti are similar and different is many ways. They both look exceptional and the way they are drawn can be the same. But street graffiti looks very solid because it is drawn on an object, on the other hand, light graffiti looks light because it is made in mid air. Also, light graffiti usually uses on big stroke of light and then the light source will need to be covered for another stroke to begin. In street graffiti, it is easier to make many strokes because there is no camera in front of you taking a shot. Overall, both ways of graffiti are beautiful and creative and are very artistic.

  1. I agree that light graffiti is somewhat harder than street graffiti, because you can't see how the product came out until you're done, but street graffiti still takes a lot of skill!
