十、阅读回答问题
Street art is spreading(传播) quickly all over the world. You can find it on buildings, sidewalks and street signs from Tokyo to Paris.
It is said that the activity began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and trains around the city. One well-known street artist(艺术家) is Swoon. She cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career(生涯) as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries(美术馆). People enjoyed Swoon’s strong and interesting style.
Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to common people. Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist’s design for their shop windows and shopping bags.
In today’s world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the Internet. Many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.
