3D Street Painting
Using chalk or temporary paint, artists create images on sidewalks or streets that appear three-dimensional when viewed from a specific angle, often employing anamorphic perspective.
Sticker Art
Artists design and print images onto adhesive stickers that can be quickly applied to surfaces in public spaces. It's a quick form of street art that can range from small tags to larger mural-sized applications.
Lock On
Artists create sculptures or objects and then physically lock them onto street furniture using chains or locks, creating a semi-permanent art installation that must be deliberately removed.
Wheatpasting
Artists use a mixture of wheat flour and water as an adhesive to paste paper or posters onto public surfaces. The paste is brushed over the back of the paper and often over the front to seal it against the surface.
Fire Writing
Using flammable substances to write or draw on surfaces, which are then ignited to create a temporary display of flame in the form of the design.
Mosaic
Small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials are arranged to create a detailed, pixelated image or pattern, often affixed with mortar to permanent surfaces.
Stenciling
Street artists use paper, cardboard, or other materials to cut out a pattern or image. The stencil is then held against a surface and paint is applied over it, creating a defined image on the surface.
Projection Mapping
Digital projectors are used to cast images or animations onto buildings or other surfaces. Often used during events for temporary displays without altering the physical structure.
Spray Paint
A common technique using aerosol cans to disperse paint quickly over a surface. Artists can vary the distance and angle of spraying to achieve different textures and effects.
Yarn Bombing
Colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn are wrapped around public fixtures, such as trees, statues, or lamp posts. It is a form of graffiti that adds a tactile and warm aesthetic to the urban environment.
