Art or just distasteful?

So the old saying is "Art and beauty are in the eye of the beholder."  Basically it means that you can either like some types of art or you don't have to.  That is the reason for this blog, it is a way for you to tell me what you like and what you don't.  Everyone is entitled to your opinion.

So that being said, some people are not fond of artwork on the sides of buildings.  They think it is distasteful and sometimes often rude.  I want you to check out these buildings that have created controversy in their respected communities and tell me what you think.




What do you think of these buildings?  Do you think they are art or have they created eye sores in the community.  If you could paint something on the side of a building, what would you paint?

  1. These buildings are art. They take something so over looked and turn it into something that people want to look at. Those people that say it is not art, are wrong. They probably say that because they can't do that.

  4. I think these buildings are amazing. They are really cool because they shows what the artist thinks when he/she looks at every day objects. The people that say they don't like it and thinks it's not art, do not know what true art are.

  6. I think these buildings are super cool. They show what the artist thinks about and how his past makes him, him. If I had the ability to paint something like this it would be military soldiers because my dad is my biggest role model.

  8. These building look really cool. If I had someone do this to a building that I either live in or see everyday, I would love it. Art always makes people think and everyone has their own opinion.

  10. I am a huge fan of these buildings, they look so realistic. I wish buildings in SD were more interesting like these buildings are. If I had a building and had the ability to paint this well I would paint a portrait of Matt Smith and David Tennant because they are my favorite actors.

  33. It depends on the art. I like these buildings because they look cool but I don't support graffiti or vandalism. As long as they got permission first I think these are cool.

  43. I definitely like the buildings and it would be cool to see them in real life. Yes I mean I would be a little freaked out if I saw a hole in my building. I would paint a hole in my bedrrom wall.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love how realistic it looks, I enjoy the way it was done on the side of a building. It looks like I can just walk right into that painted bedroom. It would be great if I got to see some of these painting in real life, and I wonder how I would react.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It is like an optical illusion. It's so cool. I love how realistic it is.

    ReplyDelete
  46. This is super cool. If I was walking by it, it would probably take me a sec to realize that it is just a wall. Whoever did this is very good.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow, just wow, that may be graffiti or art, what-ever it is it's amazing. I would imagine that this is really cool to new people or tourists, but I'm sure the people that work or live in this building are sick of it. If I was a good enough artist I would have these all over my walls, it's just fun to look at.

    ReplyDelete
  48. i think that these buildings are very cool. i would try to do this but on a road and make it look like there is a big ol sink hole

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. This reminds me of that looney tunes show coyote and roadrunner. They look as real as the tunnels coyote used to paint and then later run in to.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I really like this because it looks really cool. I wish we had more stuff like this stuff in sufu.

    ReplyDelete
  62. This is graffiti on steroids , really like how they make buildings look more appealing than just having nothing, every building should have something sketched out like that on them.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I really like these they are supper creative and give the plain ordinary buildings more of a curb appeal. I don't understand why someone would think this is an eye sore. I like the ones where it gives the effect that part of the wall is missing.

  68. The first and last ones are cool. They are mesmerizing in a way. But if i seen them in person it would probably scare me at first.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think these types of things are cool. I am not sure that I would be able to do one of these. Whenever I come across them I enjoy them. THe last one is my favorite one.

    ReplyDelete
  71. This is really cool to look at. I would really like to do this and also see this in real life. It looks like it would take a lot of detail to do all of this. I would like to looks at one of these up close.
