An Analysis and Recreation of New Age Art
on 
Only since the 1980s has the idea of graffiti coincided with true and stylistic art forms. While still illegal on public property, street art has truly evolved to become one of the most recognized mediums of art around the world. 
However, graffiti, in my opinion, really began to mean something important in the 1990s when a new wave of street artists emerged, searching for social change and attention.

on 
For many individuals before me, it may be hard to imagine how distracted our generation may be. We have become so obsessed with the things we post online or present to our peers; we live, “[d]istracted from distraction by distraction,” states famous poet T. S. Eliot. But the confusion often lies with those who do not understand our lifestyle; even 20 years ago, social media and the internet was even less readily available for teens Continue reading Nosedive: This Generation’s Plunge into Social Media
