What are the purposes of street art?

[Henry Camron]

Is there any main feature for which we recognize it?

[Henry Camron]

Artists often incorporate elements of graffiti in their works, adding large bubble lettering or smaller decorative script. Scale and time are often important factors in creating street art, given the fact that many of these works are created illegally. Street art

is often made to represent an idea or message to the viewers, but is sometimes meaningless other than entertainment or reputation.

[Sam Konstas Smith]

Street art serves many purposes beyond mere decoration. It can be a powerful form of self-expression, a medium for political commentary, or a way to bring art to everyday public spaces where galleries and museums may not be accessible. The vibrancy and rawness of street art often reflect the culture, struggles, and identity of the community it emerges from, making it deeply meaningful for both artists and viewers.

While street art often delivers bold messages, its aesthetic value cannot be overlooked. Many artists focus on aesthetic drawings that captivate onlookers with beauty, balance, and creativity. These works may not always carry a political or social message, but they still contribute to the atmosphere of the space, transforming dull walls into visually engaging experiences and making art part of the urban landscape.
