Comparisons
Both of these pictures have disfigured lines that are wavy, loopy, and messy. Also, they do not follow a single pattern, they both go in different directions. In addition, they both have a lot of movement and action going on. Both pictures also create emphasis where the grafiti art makes the circular shapes stand out like a tunnel, and the use of space within the picture makes it look like a 3-D shape and the light grafiti picture emphasizes the light and its direction so that the focus and movement is on the light not the background.
Differences
The light graffiti picture uses bright, warm colours while the other picture using spray paint graffiti uses a contrast of bold, warm and cool colours. In general, the main difference between light and traditional grafiti is that light grafiti uses technology that may not be easily accessible by artists/youth whereas traditional grafiti just requires spray paint and a wall surface. The latter may be easier to do and may allow an artist to express themselves more freely. However, it is illegal.
I think that the contrast between the colours in the street graffiti creates a pleasing effect and it also allows the creation of a 3D effect. However, I believe that only the street graffiti creates a 3D effect, and that the light graffiti doesn't, since the light graffiti only uses one colour, whereas the street graffiti uses the circles and wavy lines and the contrasting colours to create a 3D effect.
ReplyDeleteI really like the images you choose because there colors are really bright, mostly in the second image. The second image reminds me of a spiral, which i really like.
ReplyDeleteThe first image is good as well because there are alot of lines in the image, i like how the lines are getting smaller as they go down the street.
The pictures you chose are really good. They show many color, depth, and contrast. You put a lot of explained a lot of contrasts and differences and it's really good :)
