"Street Art" has come a long way throughout the years to actually be considered an actually "Art" form. Most would instantly think "Street Art" or "Graffiti" are those awful spray paint scribbles infesting walls across urban areas. Many street artist kept on pushing the limits and revolutionizing their projects trying to convince the world that despite rising off the streets, these projects are just as worthy as those years ago. They show the same amount of creative description as any other art piece, only modified to our modern time period. Street Art's period is among us, and it is ready to deliver and entertain the eye. My vision of an astonishing street art piece must demonstrate a strong contrast of color and shadow value in order to create the pop out affect that street art are renown for. Depending on how the artist wants to use the lines and colors, they must be able to show a bold shape, figure, or formation all over the canvas as well as fading/blending between two or more colors.
