I Believe in Art

People usually criticize street art by calling it vandalism. For me, however, street art means freedom of expression. People are able to speak their minds freely and express both their ideas and feelings through art. I believe that art is the best way to interpret humanity. It is in fact true that graffiti’s have a negative reputation for littering public and even personal spaces such as private murals. Nevertheless, the reality is that people have something to express to the world, and street art is the best way to spread a message to the public.

I believe in art. I believe that art can change the world. I believe that art can bring awareness to people. I believe that art can not only ease the mind, but can also ease the heart. I believe that artists have a wider perception of the world, and are destined to transmit their knowledge to the rest. I believe that art can improve the world, because “earth without art is just eh” (anonymous).
