Creative Expressions!

Introduction:

Check out the creative art that is found all around the city of Valencia!

What makes this environment special or different?:

Here in Valencia, you can find random art everywhere you go. Most of the art is found on the walls of the streets! It's not illegal at all. Graffiti is illegal. The difference between graffiti and street art is that graffiti is solely words, whereas street art is composed of paintings that have a message. It's special because most of the street art has political messages that the artists want people to understand. In other countries, this type of art is often illegal, so that makes it Valencia's art different to that in other places.

What parts of this environment help people to live here?:

It encourages people to express themselves and use art. It also attracts a lot of tourism, and Spain makes a lot of money from tourism. A lot of tourists come to Spain for the beautiful beaches and the sun, and they come for the awesome street art, too. I also think that it brings a lot of life to the environment!

What challenges do people face living in this environment?:

Some people do not enjoy having the street art around. Sometimes the street art is next to their homes or stores and it bothers them.
