These street arts are from Canada and Haiti because my family is Haitian but I was born in Ottawa. The first picture is a couple of Haitian men running for safety during the 2010 earthquake, which was a terrible time for Haitians in the area at which the earthquake happened. The second picture is maple leaf which is the representation of the Canadian flag and it showing that the artist who made it loves their country and wants everyone to see how awesome its symbol is. The third picture is also about the earthquake expect it represents that the town that street art is in is getting on with life and looking towards the future in a positive way.
Street Art as Satire

What is street art
The Artist I chose is Kurt Wenner. He attended Rhode Island School of Design and Art College before working for NASA as a advanced scientific space illustrator. I believe the internet is a great place to share street art because you can always find it without going to the location. Also it helps preserve the street art because even if the art is painted over there will still be images of it on the internet. I found Kurt Wenner because I looked up awesome 3d street art and his really popped out to me. I believe street art is a way of someone being able to express their creativity to the world and the community it is located in. I also believe that street art is like a way to let people experience things they never could in real life. Through these 3d pictures they get to see the amazing things guys and girls can do. I believe that street artist should legally be allowed to make these amazing street arts as long as they look amazing which is always. The impact of that would make the streets more beautiful then they are today and different countries can show their skills.Also just imagine if making street art in public areas was legal people could express themselves and do it for a living and challenge the big name street artist without risking their lives.
