The style of graffiti - a new look at painting

People have always been eager to express themselves. Some try to express their feelings through music, others - through poetry, someone - through painting, and someone .... but how many ways! But it is art that can be considered the most ancient art. Even primitive people left their drawings on the walls of caves and rocks. Millennia have passed, but people are still trying to paint their thoughts and feelings.

In painting there are many currents and directions. But today we'll talk about the street style of drawing, and he's called graffiti.

The style of graffiti is a modern underground culture. Graffiti is a wall painting. Translated from Italian, this word means "scratching". People who draw graffiti are called writers, from the word "write" (English).

The style of graffiti was born in the mid-seventies of the last century in New York. Children from poor neighborhoods began to paint the walls of gray houses with bright colors. Initially, they just wrote their names. This idea was to the liking of many, with time primitive inscriptions were replaced by more complex drawings, in which a large number of colors were used.

The style of graffiti for a long time was considered illegal and even illegal art, because often writers left indecent inscriptions or spoiled the look of historical buildings. The style of graffiti is the presentation of one's moods and views to the world, but, as you know, everyone's views and moods are different. The writers were often raped. But this kind of art proved the right to exist and now he has many admirers and followers.

The modern style of graffiti, like any art, carries a certain semantic load. Drawings are becoming more beautiful, the drawing technique becomes more complicated.

Over time, the flow of this street art was divided into a number of sub-strata, differing from each other, mainly by the technique of execution.

Graffiti styles

The simplest style is called BUBLE LETTERS. In this technique of drawing, letters are written in the form of bubbles (such puzatenki themselves). It looks very funny.

Another style is called FX STYLE. This is a very complex style. The letters are drawn in three-dimensional graphics and are so intertwined that it is often impossible to read the inscription.

And a very interesting technique is called WILD STYLE, which translates as "wild style". The inscriptions in this style are very beautiful and completely incomprehensible. Everything is intertwined with each other so much that it is impossible to understand where one letter begins and another ends. The colors used are very bright. The texts are accompanied by phantasmagoric drawings. It is brightness, intricacy, complexity and some unreadableness and is a wild style of graffiti.

A self-respecting rider will never make a drawing on a building of architectural value, and on a residential building in general. It is believed that you should not impose your own worldview on others.

Whichever graffiti painting technique you choose: wild style or something simpler - before your drawings rise from the level "here was Vasya" to the level of art, you will have to lime a lot of paper and paints. Only by working and improving, you can perpetuate your name on the wall as a great warden!
