Like art in general, street art takes a lot of work to categorize. The location of street art—on the street—is its most noticeable feature. Street art is usually found in prominent places in densely populated areas. Street art occasionally conveys a message regarding a political or social issue. But the same motivations that drive other art creations can also drive street art. Some street art pieces are created to be beautiful, as art for art's sake. But there is no denying that activism is associated with this style.   

Describe street art, please. Street art would include any artwork intended for public display.   

The history of street art is more extensive than we can fully document. Even then, some of the walls from all the civilizations that have come and gone over the ages will have had artwork that has since been lost to time. A ton of fantastic street art history remains uncovered worldwide and conserved for future generations, so all is not lost.   

These are a few significant historical junctures where street art left a lasting impact.  

Stone Age  

The history of creative expression on walls and other big surfaces dates back to the Stone Age. The Cueva De Las Manos, a wall painting in a cave near Santa Cruz, Argentina, is among the oldest. Although not much is known about the exhibit, informed assumptions place its date of creation at least 7000 BC (or earlier) and suggest that it was used for ceremonial or religious purposes.   

In addition to conveying a cultural or political message, many cave paintings may have compensated for the fact that photography hadn't yet been invented.   

Ancient Greek and Roman Cities   

Early Rome and Greek cities are significant stops on the historical tour of street art. Thankfully, many of these pieces may still be found today for everyone to gaze at in amazement. The street art in these places ranges from pro-religion to anti-religion, politics, and even (quite commonly) billboards for bathhouses and brothels. The presentation varied from beautifully crafted murals and portraits to crude, handwritten graffiti.  

Kilroy 

One of World War II's most minor and well-known street art works appeared. Instead of a profoundly spiritual mural or an elaborately designed spray painting, a character named Kilroy started to appear everywhere.   

The words "Kilroy was here" were placed alongside a drawing of a bald man with his nose hanging over a wall. Thanks to the design's simplicity, everyone, including toddlers and the military, was able to participate in the street art revolution. In a move that can be compared to the viral fad of the 1930s and 1940s, individuals started writing Kilroy on everything, especially in obscure areas.   

There were even rumors that Kilroy stimulated the paranoia of Adolf Hitler during this procedure.   

Themes and Techniques Most Used in Street Art?   

The purpose of street art varies; some express political opinions, while others are rebellious or aim to better public spaces. Some have a contemplative effect, while others elicit laughter from onlookers. While some people employ elaborate stencils, LED lights, fire extinguishers, and yarnbombing techniques, spray painting with aerosol cans is popular.  

Ending  

The future of street art will see a growing community effort to present modern art, often after a significant renovation. The internet, with services like Let's Roam and Geotags, will play an essential role in promoting street art, while forums and social media sites will continue to be used for finding and promoting street art.
