Barry McGee/Margaret Kilgallen

It was interesting to see hand crafted art work still being used. Now a days, it is much easier to make it digitally and print it out somewhere in a form and size. But after seeing McGee and Kilgallen take art back to being hand drawn was interesting. It would take weeks or months to finish one big painting of something that is hand painted. Doing something hand made does have its advantages, because anything can be your canvas. In the video, they've used trains, walls, buildings, and etc. Its like the whole world is your canvas to draw on it. Some people will think when they see graffiti somewhere that its damaged property and that the building or where ever graffiti is done on doesn't make it look nice anymore. But to artist, graffiti is another medium to express oneself artistically. They think it makes a world a more colorful place with their graffiti art.
