Street art is a visual artistry, primarily created in public spaces for attracting the public audience. This art is displayed in the form of designs, portraits, lettering, imagery, and so on. 

Street art employs the use of objects like stencils, brushes, paints, and wheat pastes for painting. It often includes working with the immediate environment to create beautiful artwork. 

This form of painting usually brings an original connection with the architecture. They showcase art in the public space and offer the advantage of artists receiving a wide audience for their work. The colors, themes, mode of painting, and other design elements of street art can even radically alter the spatial proportions of a building. 

There are multiple styles of street art that can be created and interpreted in several ways. 

Mural painting is a distinctive form of street art in which an artwork is directly made on the surfaces of walls, ceilings, and other similar surfaces. This form of art is majorly used to decorate public spaces and uses different techniques to create paintings on the interiors as well as the exteriors of spaces like buildings. 

Mural paintings have a dramatic impact on the viewers, especially on tourists who visit a new area. Many establishments have started using mural art to decorate the interiors and attract visitors and tourists. It has been identified as a form of painting that aesthetically improves the appearance of a given space and has been widely used in various countries to attract the attention of people. 

In countries like America & Germany, murals and graffiti evolved as potent visual communication tools that aimed to attract public attention and spread unifying social and political ideas.

The oldest scribblings, carvings, and paintings are a form of mural art. Such paintings have great significance in offering invaluable knowledge of our past and providing a glimpse into the diversity of cultures over time. 

Modern mural artworks that you can find today often include techniques like fresco, mosaic, graffiti, and marouflage. They are applied straight into a permanent structure like a building wall. 

Graffiti is a form of mural painting that often focus on urban styles and is generally created with spray paints. It mainly involves letter-based tags and pieces. Graffiti often portrays artists’ expressions and emotions, making a statement or raising awareness.
