Street art is very popular around the world. You can find it on buildings, street signs and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums are collecting the works of street artists.

People have different opinions about street art. Some think it is bad, but others think it is a very beautiful new culture.

Street art began in New York in the 1960s. This style of drawing and writing became know as graffiti. Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel(反對(duì))against the rules. They traveled around cities to make paintings that everyone could see.

One well-known New York street artist is Swoon. She cuts paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start as street artist. She studied art but, later, got bored with the works she saw in museums. Then she fell in love with graffiti. The people in New York enjoy Swoon’s style. Some museums have already bought some of her works.

Street artists do their work for some reasons. A number of them choose street art because it is closer to the everyday life.

Nowadays the Internet has a big influence on street art. Artists can show their pictures to people around the world. Many people in the city, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live(在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)).

Life is like four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days. Some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.

In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked hard. I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.

Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student and an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood it was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees changed color and gave us delicious fruit.

Now the days keep getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left; I will enjoy them to the end.
