The Reality Reports

The Underground Movement Begins: Graffiti started in the 1960s when young people in New York City began writing their names on subway trains and building walls. These early artists, called writers, used spray paint and markers to claim their space in the urban landscape.  Most people saw this as vandalism and property damage. The city spent millions trying to remove tags and pieces from public surfaces.

The Colorful World Of Bubblegum Art: In parks, under tables, and stuck to sidewalks, most people see discarded chewing gum as nothing but trash.  But some creative minds see something different, a unique art material waiting to be shaped into something beautiful.  Bubblegum art is a surprising art form where artists use chewed gum to create sculptures, portraits, and installations.  These works range from small, detailed pieces to large public murals that catch the eye with their unusual texture and bright colors.
