Definitions of Graffiti and Street Art

« Graffiti as a personal mark-making can describe anything from a poster or painting to a plastic toy glued to a wall. In its narrowest interpretation, graffiti refers to the hip-hop graffiti writing that originated in New York in the late 1960s. Since graffiti is mainly associated with tags and pieces in this 'classic' style, other phrases have been coined for art produced on the street.
Street Art is a term that was first used in the 1980s to describe any art in the urban environment not in the predominant hip-hop style. »
