Street Art & Optical Illusions




The Wikipedia definition of Art is: A diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities

Diverse is the word I would like to focus on today.

What does the average person think about when you tell them you are an Artist? The first thing that comes to mind is that you are a traditional individual who paints on a canvas.

We, as a community know there are hundreds of different art forms and millions of different mediums used. Take this video for example. These are pieces from all over the globe, which focuses on street art and optical illusion.

These pieces are some of the most photographed art in the world and I’m not talking about professional photographs, I’m talking about the average Joe, being blown away by it and taking a picture. Sharing it through his or her network of friends.

Now I know, people often laugh at the tourist who is posing alongside a bit of street art, but it is no laughing matter, for that person is going to show people back home through sharing the picture through social media. Surely this is the quickest way to spread your name as an artist.


I really hope you like this video if you haven’t seen it before and I’m interested to hear what different mediums all you artists use.
