Defined: Graffiti is traditional spray painting or tagging while Street Art can be any form of art pasted on walls such as stencils, sticker posting, wheatpasting, street poster art, installations, etc. John Fekner put it plainly when he defines street art as “all art on the street that’s not graffiti.”
A few other quotes found here...
Before the computer, graphic design was necessarily tactile. The primary exports of the industry were things like books, posters and periodicals. Type was physical; images were on negatives; layouts were sketched.
Street art and graffiti get back to these sensuous roots. They are art for the everyday, the masses. They manipulate a reality beyond the digital. They are about seeing things in a different way, about an experience, a message. They are about expression.
What’s best part? Its free.
