Sculpture and plaquesthe three dimensional forms of street art. theyre really rare. Often prepared on site responding to and using it's environment which makes it more difficult. If not for that we'd see more of them. Also it's more obvious therefore more likely to be removed.
there are ways to install huge pieces in public spaces without getting caught. One group that specialises in carvings. they dress up as council workers to install then in the middle of the day, usuakly on major intersections.
Paste- ups and stickers. safer forms of street art, they attract a less severe penalty than drawing directly onto a wall. they both allow mass production especially if its created on the computer and transferred to blank paper or a sticker.
Politricks. 'bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity.'
Street art allows writers to freely express their thoughts.
Murals and Pieces.
The risk of doing those is really high, because they take hours and hours to complete, often with artists having to come back to the site several times. To get away with this a lot of them are being completed at night.
Because the pieces are so huge it takes lots and lots of supplies. For a piece that measures about 10 to 20 fet lengthwise by 10 feet high usually takes up about 10 cans. A piece thats about 60 by 10 feet takes up to 30 cans D: But then again the number also depends on how many colours the artists use.
Pieces usually require a lot of planning and preparation.
These are the things I've looked at and the book I got lots of information from is called Street Art Uncut, by Matthew Lunn.
