Street art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on
- 5 -
buildings, sidewalks, street signs and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.
Street art started out very secretly because it was illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. People often have different opinions about street art. Some think it is a crime and others think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.
Art experts claim that the street art movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults painted words and other images on walls and trains.This colorful style of writing became known as graffiti. Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society. They traveled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see. In many cases, they had trouble with the police and the local government.
Street artists do their work for different reasons. Some of them do not like artists who make so much money in galleries and museums. They choose street art because it is closer to the people. Some artists try to express their political opinion in their work. They often want to protest (抗议) against big firms and corporations. Others like to do things that are forbidden and hope they don't get caught. Advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the impression of youth and energy.
Today, the Internet has a big influence on street art. Artists can show their pictures to an audience all over the world. Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it alive. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city. There, it will continue to change and grow.

Since 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiticovered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals(壁画)have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti(涂鸦)are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's AntiGraffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,”she says,“I answer them with one word: hope.”Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community(社区).When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets,”“Love and Care,”and “Peace Walk.”
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history”,says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.
