Post six

Hey!
It's already our sixth session! now it will be about one of our chosen topics:

Street art.

I know there are many types of interventions, installations and happenings that occur in the streets, my favorites are stencil, and graffiti. Ever since I have a phone that can take pictures, I've been interested in capturing some of the messages that several artists have displayed in the walls of our cities. Here's a selection of pictures I've taken:

    

 

Which ones do you like?

I remember that back in 2009, when I was in the US, I visited Chicago. That city was literally full of art in its streets. Sculptures in every corner, musicians performing in the streets, and famous installations such as "the kidney" that you can see in the following picture.

I think that Santiago should consider having graffities everywhere, it would surely give a new spark to the city's gray aspect.

To conclude, I'll share these last two pictures. The first one was taken in Olivo street, in Recoleta. I see this cactus graffiti everytime I walk on my way to the Dentistry faculty.

                                                 
 The second one means a lot to me, for its strong and simple message. I took the picture near the neighborhood where I grew up.

                            

Now it's your turn. Tell me about what types of street art you like.
