Banksy

I'm a big fan of street art and I especially love Banksy. I think street art is so great because it can be done by anyone and can reach anyone. It is an art form that anyone walking down the street can see, you don't need to be prestigious enough to be in a museum in order for people to see your work and you can see art without having to go to a museum. Another great thing about street art is that the artists are completely free to express themselves and their ideas, they are not being censored by anyone. Something that I love about Banksy is that he always addresses social issues that concern him in his work. This website that I found has tons of street art from all different artists. I've added the link to a page focusing on Banksy below. Another really cool thing about Banksy is that one of his paintings in nearby in Chinatown so you can go see it in person.
