Our next two trip to the Houston streets art was more fun than I expected. The more I examined the graffiti, the more I was surprised by the intention of the artist. I could almost feel what they must have felt as they created. I was interested in where their choice of colors and design elements came from? how do they know that those color and design elements can create art? is such knowledge inborn? every time, I see a graffiti piece I think about these questions.
I ask myself," how does one define art?" is art the fruit of our imagination or the expression of our feelings?. Nobody can objectively answer to these questions. I come from Cameroon in Africa and yet I see such type of graffiti and their meaning. I quickly figure out that here that graffiti art has liberty meaning. the artist use the public place to express that he free to think and create. arts does not follow any regulations the artist have a free choice. they can freely choose the color and elements of design. in Cameroon the graffiti artists have to certain rules. for example excessive use
of the red color in graffiti artwork is prohibited. graffiti artwork have to express cultural heritage
