Banksy exit through the gift shop


Art to me is ones personal or visual expression of creative skill and imagination. To tell a story or to promote religious an spiritual beliefs, to tell history and to create work that is appreciated for their beauty or political power. What makes something art to me is when a canvas reaches us on a emotional level of any kind happy, sad, laughing and crying. and there is also the way we something that makes it art. art is usually considered great by many and hated by many as well that to me is what makes something art  The late 1900s produced this new wave of art called graffiti art, Banksy took this graffiti art to the next level by adding powerful political messages attached to his drawings. In "Banksy 'exit through the gift shop". is a powerful documentary in to this new wave of graffiti art. and what it meant to the culture at that time. this new wave of art featured by the new generation  using stencils, stickers, posters, and sculptures to make their mark by any means necessary. some of the artists in the documentary depicted art as something you love, to express yourself and allow people to see. art is a passion and street art is that much more.  this compounded with the arrival of the internet.made it easier for millions to see their work. one of the artist called space invader retook the classic game he love to play called space invaders and remade the characters and made them into art. graffiti artist used buildings canvass and platforms to display their work. sometimes vanishing quickly, thi documentary helped capture some of the best street art out their. your typical art work lasted 100s of years but not street art. as buildings would be repainted and other artists would ome time go o ver other artists work. terry the filmmaker who followed all these amazing artists ended up being an amazing artist himself who took art and made it almost meaningless but set a trend that thrust-ed him into the spotlight. Banksy inspired terry as Bansky turned street art into a cultural phenomenon  and was very low key.
