Graffitis  are illegal, and they deliver a message to the inhabitants of the district or town they are tagged in. Gangs use them to « mark their territory ». Street art, however, is meant to be beautiful or at least more pictural. Legal or not, it addresses to all pedestrians, even tourists.]]> 2019-02-09 18:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329518048 esteves_lea https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329518234 Then, you need to know that they are different levels. A one-line writing is a tag, it is the very first level. Here’s an example :]]> 2019-02-09 18:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329518234 esteves_lea https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329518513 Then, you have thrown-ups : thicker writing that often includes 3-D, light and shadows, and sometimes a background. You want an idea of what it looks like ?

It is a drawing, an illustration or a writing that integrates pictural elements : flowers, geometric shapes, etc.  As you can guess, street art usually takes the form of a piece, and graffiti uses thrown-ups and tags. ]]> 2019-02-09 19:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329518620 esteves_lea https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329519666 One last thing, a tip to know whether a piece is legal or not : illgeal pieces are made in 20-30 minutes, so the artist might use stencils and stickers, they might glue a sculpture or spray-paint something quite small. Well, I think we’re done ! You have all the tools to understand  and better appreciate these wonderful pieces :)]]> 2019-02-09 19:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/esteves_lea/l3a24p8b702s/wish/329519666
