Living Walls

Street art is too cool

We were to read an article in this very interesting newspaper called Creative Loafing. It's actually very cool. I actually learned about this news source a week ago after using Google's new app called "Field Trip". It's so awesome! You learn about all of the places near you. Creative Loafing tells you about interesting, creative places. The app uses it as a source really. 

Anyways, we read an article in it called Living Walls. It was very interesting (READ ARTICLE HERE (Living Walls Article) ). This event, which occurs annually was hosted in Atlanta last year. I disappointed that I did not know of it when it happened because it really does seem cool. The theme was female artists. All of these female artists came and drew street art all around Atlanta. The purpose was to make the city more beautiful. It added a dynamic, artistic presence that the city could really use. I suppose it made the city look more cultured. I can see how this could have a positive effect on all the citizens there. 

Tika was an artist that really caught my attention. Her art is very different. Look at this:

It's very cool. and soooooo different. Do check out the article and look at the other artists.
