Street Art

In yesterday’s class we talked about blogs that we like to read (or just look at). I am not a huge blog reader, but I do find myself occasionally checking out colormekatie.com.

Katie is like a breath of fresh air. She loves to combine her inner child with her artistic abilities. It seems as though her main goal most days is to just make other people smile. Her simple yet clever approach to her work is what makes it so different. It’s whimsical and fun and always colorful. You can tell when she gets really busy with her job because she will sometimes post entries that are just fluff, like “10 Things I love About My Cat”. But my favorite entries of Katie's involve her street art and her paper crafts. Katie's art has been featured in several publications and has even made it all the way to France.

I love street art because I think it is one of the best ways to make something ordinary into something special. When the same streets you see every day are suddenly turned into works of art, it makes your day more enjoyable. I wish we had more street artists around campus. I think it would give the school a more welcoming vibe.
