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.

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.
