...In the early 2000s Banksy moved to his artistic activity to London where his popularity started to rise to an international level.

...1. Art to me is a self-expression through paintings, drawings, photos, sculpture, etc. to get a message across to the audience. I feel artist strive to get their point across and art is the best way for them. Art is actually the creativity of man as opposed to nature and appreciation of beauty.

I like film because it an actual visual experience for me that you can watch time and time again. Painting and sculpture are interesting also but I feel like you can get more from a film because you can view it at home rather than at a museum. 2. Faith Ringgold was the “creator” of story quilt.
