Art review

Just as the street art in the movie, "Exit Through the Gift Shop" was an example of great art, the movie itself was a great piece of art. Therefore, I will review the movie. I loved the style of the movie,  especially how it was like a home video. The travels and "adventures" of Thierry Guetta were exciting and it was very cool to see the best street artists doing their work in the middle of the night. The mysterious encounters with Banksy throughout the movie were both mysterious and comical. The voice change and the mask may have been a bit over the top, but this showed how much Banksy cared about his street art and the message that it was sending. Some of my favorite works by Banksy include his painting of the girl having her crayon house boarded up by a worker. I really enjoy how the detailed drawings of the people contrast with the rudimentary drawings of the house and the flowers. Another piece of street art that follows these lines is the work that shows what appears to be a Vietnamese child with a huge machine gun, with crayons hanging out of it instead of bullets. I also really like the funny tags of the British police officers, mainly the one that displays an officer with a balloon dog on a leash. Again, this is a contrasting picture because of the seriousness of the officer and the lighthearted mood that the balloon animal adds to the scene. Another one of my favorite pieces by Banksy is the vulture in the middle of nowhere with a gas pump nozzle for a head. Here are a few of the pieces that I have talked about.
