A mural is an artwork which is painted or directly applied on a celing, a wall or a permanent surface. Murals could be made with tiles, stone, ceramic, porcelain or even glass. A wall mural could also be made with oil paints or acrylic paints and are often coated with varnish to prevent them from fading. They are applied straight on to the surface where it is to be made and can be based on any theme or subject
Murals can depict any subject in a unique and beautiful manner through the usage of various colors and shapes of the tiles being used. They can protray life, nature, political scenes or just about anything in a creative and artistic way.

Street sculptures are all about the display of various sculptures made of different types of materials and are displayed to the public often in places with many visitors like sidewalks or popular streets.
Street sculptures are quite a difficult form of art as it takes a lot of time and patience to curate different sculptures. All street sculptures tell a story and can be interpreted in many different ways.
Sculptures are a great way to express one's emotions and inner thoughts on a subject in a very different manner - most sculptures are three dimensional and have a lot of texture hence street sculptures are uncommon ways to express emotions through art. It is an unconventional style hence it is one of my favourites.

Sculptures are often made of sturdy materials like metal or marble as they are usually placed in an outodoor setting and have to withstand the weather conditions. For example, in the two pictures posted here, both of them are made out of a tough metal so that they can last for a long time and can easily tolerate harsh weather conditions.
Grafitti is a form of visual communication which represents rebellion and can tell a lot about a particular community, its heritage, its people and even its political climate. Grafitti is often done illegally and is regarded as vandalism by many community members; however, I believe that if done with permission, grafitti is a beautiful art form which is an abstract way to express one's emotions and is also extremely creative and unique.
Grafitti is most often created using spray paints and makes use of bright and attractive colors. This art form is a perfect balance between wording and creative art. Worded grafitti art makes use of large bubbly letters and the art itself is often extremely detailed and precise. Most grafitti art is completed with a 'tag' which is like the artists signature on the piece and all grafitti art is different as each grafitti is a representation of a community, and as we have learnt, all communities are unique and different.
Grafitti is a great form of community art as it unites people by giving them a common platform to share their feelings and creative opinions on. It helps to bring people together by freely allowing them to paint whatever they want to however they want to and essentially, grafitti is a pictorial representation of the community and political landscape of a certain area

Chalk art is the usage of chalks to create different artworks - it is most often done on pavements or sidewalks and makes use of bright colored chalk helps to attract attention to it and make it more attractive. Often. pastel colors are used and many different things can be written or drawn using the style of chalk art
Chalk art could also be made with naturally occuring materials like stones to scratch the surface and create the artworks. Chalk art is similar to grafitti as it makes use of bright color palettes and is often created on the streets, just like grafitti. The art form iteself is quite rare as chalk art does not last due to its powery composition hence it can be popularly found on the internet or being made my children in parks. Remember when you played hopscotch as a child and used a rock to draw the numbers? Well that's quite similar to chalk art as you were using a naturally occuring material to create something on a pavement.
