Most people, if asked, would not be able to make any distinction between street art and graffiti art. Although they are actually quite different; Graffiti writing and street art are often confused with each other. Both exhibit their work outdoors rather than in a gallery. However, graffiti artists display their work publicly, they really only care about relating to other graffiti artists; rather than the general public. On the other hand, street artists just want to attract the attention of the general public by making a statement with their art. Although street art and graffiti art appear very similar, closer examination reveals differences in technique, function, culture and intent (Weisburg.)'“Graffiti (sgraffiti), or drawings or scribbles on a flat surface and deriving from the Italian sgraffio ('to scratch'), with a nod to the Greek graphein ('to write'), originally referred to those signs present on ancient Roman architecture”' (Weisburg). However, it is not known when or where the graffiti first appeared; Modern graffiti didn't appear until the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York. The term “tagging” is the modern form of scratch (Weisburg). It is also considered the origin of all modern graffiti, including street art. Street art is understood as a subculture of graffiti, but cannot be defined simply as a form (Hughs). “Street art, originally coined by Allan Schwartzman in 1985 (Lewisohn, 2008), is a diverse and all-encompassing artistic expression against an urban backdrop. In graffiti there are four main types: tagging, bombing, writing and scratching. Tagging is when a graffiti artist puts their nickname into a custom signature that all graffiti artists have. Bombing is basically tagging as many times as possible in a specific area. Writing is when a graffiti artist paints graffiti writing in different styles, to name a few: bubble, vomit, 3D, character, wild, blockbuster, and electric. Graffiti is usually posted illegally, so the artist must quickly enter and create his own "tag" in an orderly manner, then leave the scene so as not to be discovered. In contrast, street art is usually created legally, so in turn street artists have more time to do more with their art, which allows for a wider range of street art types, including painting, stencils, stickers, wheat paste, sculpture installations. , mosaics, chalk art and even video projection. While doing it illegally is still risky, with stencils, stickers and wheat paste, artists can create their design at home and then quickly apply it once they get to the desired location. The fact that graffiti artists have to create entirely on site and try to get away with it also explains the differences in culture and ideology between graffiti and street.
