Do you graffiti sketch agree w ith any of them? Listen to an artist's opinion and w rite down w hat he says about each one. Art should involve effort on the part of the artist. Art should involve technical skill. Art should have a social message or make a political point. When you're doing it to create art, obviously. A number of street artists aro und the world have started expressing themselves through a practice known as reverse graffiti.
Inspired by the 'clean me' messages that you see written on the back of some trucks, they find dirty surfaces and inscribe them with images or messages using cleaning brushes or pressure hoses. Either way, it's the same principle: the image is made by cleaning away the dirt. Each artist has their own individual style but all artists share a common aim: to draw attention to the pollution in our cities. The UK's Paul Curtis, better known as Moose, operates around Leeds and London and has been commissioned by a number of companies to make reverse graffiti advertisements.
Brazilian artist, Alexandre Orion, turned one of Sao Paulo's transport tunnels into an amazing mural in by scraping away the dirt.
Made up of a series of white skulls, the mural reminds drivers of the effect their pollution is having on the planet. Others like -scape have a particular meaning.

TI1is was what Leeds City Council said about Moose's work: 'Leeds residents want to live in clean and attractive neighbourhoods. How was he supposed to do this: by making all property he had cleaned dirty again? As for the Brazilian artist's work, the authorities were annoyed but could find nothing to charge him with. They had no other option but to clean the tunnel - but only the parts Alexandre had already cleaned.
The artist merely continued his campaign on the other side. The city officials then decided to take drastic action. They not only cleaned the whole tunnel but also every tunnel in Sao Paulo.

It w as called Rapper's Delight. I thought it was the most ri diculous thing I'd ever heard. For the next 26 years, I avoided rap music the way you step over a crack in the pavement. I heard it booming out of cars and alleyways from Paris to Abidjan, but I never listened. In doing so, I missed the most important cu ltural event in my lifetime.

This defiant culture of song, graffiti and dance, collectively known as hip-hop, has permeated almost every society.
They describe a child who is born and grows up in the ghetto, hating the world for his situation and all the things that he cannot have. These days most commercial rappers in America brag about their lives of crime and the things that fame and money have brought them, among which women seem to be just another material possession.
For those from poor backgrounds the life of a successful rapper has become an asp iration, for richer suburban kids it is a symbol of something cool. HIP- In poor urban communities around the globe, rap music is a universal expression of outrage at the injustice of the distribution of wealth. Its macho pose has been borrowed from commercial hip-hop in the US, but for most the music represents an old dream : a better life. The Dakar in Senegal tells me.
Rap is how it worked: one guy, the DJ, played doesn't belong to American culture,' records on two turntables. Another guy - or girl - served he says. It has always existed here, as master of ceremonies, or MC. The DJs learnt to move because of our pain and our hardships and our suffering. Much of hip-hop, break over and over to keep people dancing. The MCs particularly the commercial side, I hate. Yet I love the rapped over the music to keep the party going. One MC good of it.
