Even though his identity still remains unknown, he continues to create powerful and controversial pieces of art anywhere and anytime when people least expect it. Banksy usually creates his art with many different types of stencils. He uses spray paint to go over those stencils on the walls of buildings and/or well known areas or signs.

In this piece of art, it looks as if the man is throwing a very harmful weapon, like a bomb, to create change. As many can see, that is the opposite of what he is throwing. He is about to throw flowers as if it were being used as a weapon. This really just shows that in order to make a change in the world or to win a fight, you do not have to use harmful weapons (or words). Instead, Banksy is implying that we should try to use kindness as a weapon. With terrorism being at a high rate in the world right now, it's easy for people to turn to violence when solving problems. I believe that Banksy wants people to throw their guns and weapons away and instead, be kind to the people around you and in this case, throw flowers.]]> 2018-03-20 20:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244259426 zoe_ledwez https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244264727 Banksy made the man in this piece of art stand in way as though he was going to be throwing a lethal weapon. ]]> 2018-03-20 20:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244264727 zoe_ledwez https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244267311 The way that this man is dressing makes you assume that he isn't up to anything good. With the scarf over his face and the dark clothing that he is wearing. He looks as though he does not want to be seen. ]]> 2018-03-20 20:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244267311 zoe_ledwez https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244268276 The flowers. The man is not holding something that you would not be expecting him to hold while in that stance and wearing those clothes. The flowers show that instead of using hateful tools like guns, bombs, or any kind of weapon, he is using kindness and love. Banksy made that known to people by making the man hold flowers. ]]> 2018-03-20 20:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244268276 zoe_ledwez https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244273998 About Banksy Biography.

The only thing that I would say is a "weakness" is that it may be hard for some people to get meaning out of it. They might not fully understand the concept at first glance. Banksy allows the viewers to get whatever they want out of his pieces so in this case it is would be normal if many people did not grasp the true meaning of it. ]]> 2018-03-20 20:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244274508 zoe_ledwez https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244277117 This art was created to make a change in the world by using kindness and love. With war going on all around us it is easy to go straight for the weapons in order to "solve" problems in this world. I think that what Bansky is portraying through his art is that we shouldn't limit ourselves to hateful weapons, and instead use things like, love, kindness and unity to truly resolve all conflict that is going on around us. ]]> 2018-03-20 20:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244277117 zoe_ledwez https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244279848 2018-03-20 20:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zoe_ledwez/xxj3amcz314f/wish/244279848
