Banksy and his use of stencil

By the age of 18, Banksy began to develop stencils after nearly being caught vandalising public spaces by police. After that Banksy was stuck hiding beneath a garbage truck. It was at this time that Banksy saw stencil letters on the truck. Looking for a faster way to paint, Banksy decided stenciling would be his new graffiti type. These are often in the form of multi-layered stencils and/or combined with other media sources, such as spray-paint. He also includes anything found in the streets like street signs and other objects to convey his message by crafting beautiful street art installations. His artwork is often satirical and combines dark humor with graffiti and also spread messages across art, philosophy, and politics.

Knitted graffiti movement Graffiti knitting or yarnstorming or yarn bombing or guerrilla knitting is the art of using items handmade from yarn to create street art. It is illegal and it was first began in 2004 in the Netherlands and people started experimenting it all around the world. While yarn bombing is becoming an accepted form of street art, there is still a "guerrilla" aspect to it. Not everyone is a fan of yarn

bombing. Yarn bombing can be damaging. As the places such as the picture here of Big Ben this is now been yarn bombed and this takes the tourist attraction because they see something new instead of the natural phone booth.

Jenny Holzer LED lights Is an American neo-conceptual artist, she is based in New York. The main focus of her work is the delivery words and ideas in public spaces.

Sponsored by the Public Arts Fund program, the use of the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) machine allowed Holzer to reach a larger audience.
