Aside from subway cars,
graffiti is often seen on
bridges, billboards,
abandoned buildings. It is
carefully designed with an
artistic sensibility and
executed in often
dangerous places. The
writers risk arrest and
injury to simply write their
names in these highly
visible areas.
Public art Public art can be defined
as art which has as its
goal a desire to engage
with its audiences and to
create spaces- whether
material, virtual or
imagined within which
people can identify
themselves, perhaps by
creating a renewed
reflection on community,
on the uses of public
spaces or on our
behaviour within them.
Public art can contribute
to a community through
a number of means
including the following:
increasing the use of
public spaces; improving
the aesthetics of a
 locality; encouraging a
sense of ownership and
community pride;
creating landmarks and
distinctive features in
the urban landscape;
and supporting growth
in cultural tourism.

The letters are very

A poster (paste-up) is a

A sticker is like a

Many stickers are simply
tags on postage labels,
but sometimes they are
more elaborate.
A piece (short for
masterpiece) is a picture
that has been painted
free hand. They contain
at least three colors and
 take longer to paint. A
piece in an obvious
place will gain the artist
respect from other
artists because standing
in an obvious place
painting on walls where
graffiti is illegal is a
great risk.
