I think some street art is very interesting, but others can be harmful. It kind of depends on the situation of the art, but I think most big cities would not be the same without it. Millis has some, but it's not quite popular here. Sometimes it is vandalism, but sometimes it's art. If someone got caught doing it they'd probably go to jail. If my walls were painted with graffiti without my consent I might be mad. It would kind of depend. If I lived in the city I mean I might kind of expect it, but if it wasn't visually appealing or if it was something rude I think I would be kinda upset. If it was something I liked though I might be happy with it. The main point of the movie "Exit Through The Gift Shop" was that consumers buy into anything nowadays. Mr. Brainwash appeared in days and made so much money off of stuff he was having others mass produce. It also made the point that street art conveys powerful messages and can spread movements rapidly throughout the world even (with the help of the internet). I don't think it matters if the whole thing was staged by Banksy. The point he made was clear, and spread the message.
My thoughts kind of line up with "It is art, but there should be specific places to create it", "It is definitely art and it should be celebrated" and "It reflects the culture of youngsters in the society". In Photoshop I created two pieces. One conveys the idea that everyone deserves a voice. It shows a girl sitting in a chair, silent, with an "X" over her mouth. This is an important message because in society many people are denied their right to speak and share. My second image shows someone on a balance beam balancing, and says "Find your balance". This image shows how in life there is a balance to everything, and to succeed and not fail (or fall), you must find that balance. Each picture was taken from an angle that would allow it to look like I was holding something, people were standing/sitting, that people were falling, or something along those lines. The last picture I used is a photoshop I did where I flipped the yes and mouth.
