Good is...
The Tools of a Street Artist
What makes it good?
//No street art without them
They are the tools you use to create the street art ...your hands can only do so much as a ‘tool’.
//Provides the process of creating street art
The process involved in creating a piece of visual street art requires specific tools to do so; without them nothing could be created.
//Allows artists/designers express their creativity
Street art is an expression of ones creativity ...the tools are the medium through which this is done.
//Provides a base for technical creations
In order to produce a piece of technical work you need the tools to do so ...it is the utilisation of these tools and the skill involved which produces street art worth paying attention to, not just being classed as graffiti.
//Allows creatives to communicate a message
Street artists use their work to communicate a message to the public, whether it be for the purpose of advertising or to purely make a statement. Again, street art cannot be created without the tools to do so.
Who would find it good?
//Street artists
Street artists use their tools to enable them to produce street art.
//Artists
Many artists use similar/same tools to produce their artwork, it is just that their artwork is presented in a different context.
//Members of the public with an appreciation for art
Members of the public may see a piece of street art and become instantly intrigued as to how the street artist has produced the work and what medium they have used to achieve this.
//Passers-by who are viewing street art
Similarly, anyone passing a piece of live street art may also be intrigued as to what tools the street artist used in order to achieve the artwork.
//Non designers and designers with an interest into how street art is/was produced
Both designers and non-designers may take an interest into a piece of street art and be curious as to the tools that were used to produce it as it is new to them.
//Creatives who want to try a different medium to work in
Artists are constantly wanting to venture into the unknown and explore new mediums; with the knowledge of how others do it via their tools, they can then apply this to their own work.
//Creatives who want a better understanding of how street art is produced
//Creatives who want a better understanding of how street art is produced
In order to fully understand a process you need to know the background information, this includes the tools used to produce the piece of art; it is only then that you can fully understand and appreciate the artwork.
//Creatives who have used the products but want a deeper knowledge of how they can be used to enhance their own work.
Some creatives may have used the tools a street artist used but not necessarily in the same context. By learning how a street artist has used their tools, it will enable them to progress and challenge the way in which they use their own tools.
//Creatives/designers/artists who want an alternative process to produce their work in
Creatives are constantly on the look out for new processes to use within their work, by learning how others have used their tools they can then transfer this knowledge into their own work.
Who wouldn't find it good?

//Those with no artistic interest
If a person has no interest in street art, they are not likely to be concerned with how it has been produced by the street artist.
//People against street art
If a person is against street art they are very unlikely to take the time to consider how the piece of street art was produced.
//Those who cannot use the tools
If someone cannot use the tools a street artist does, they may just disregard them and take no further interest into them whatsoever.
//Those who view street art as graffiti ...illegal
A person who is anti-street art is highly unlikely to take an interest into the tools used to produce it.
//Police//those within 'the law'
Police may not want the use of a street artists tools to be publicized if it is to be produced under illegal conditions.
//Creatives who don’t use the tools of a street artist within their work
If a creative does not use the tools of a street artist they may not want to use them within their work as they do not ‘work’ with their style.
//Creatives who do not know of or how to use the tools of a street artist
A creative who doesn’t necessarily know of or use the tools of a street artist may be unsure on how they could be used to benefit they’re work.
What is it better than and why?
//The tools of a mechanic
//The tools of a mechanic
Street art allows for self expression and provides the public with entertainment for free whereas those of a mechanic do not, they are simply used to get the job in hand done.
//Graffiti
Street art sends a message/provides entertainment, therefore serving more of a purpose.
//In studio work
Street art is produced and left in the public eye ...gets appreciation and recognition (where wanted) whereas work which doesn’t ‘get out there’ into the real work and sits in a drawer in a studio will receive no recognition or feedback from real life people.
//The use of software
The tools of a street artist provide a much more hands on approach than software based products.
