Mural vs Grafitti



Hey kids,
  You must try to learn the difference  & similarities between different expressions of art but first,  ¨what is art?¨




Is this art? 

First, what different types of art do we have?
Sculpture? Dance? Music? Poetry? Tattoos? Fashion? Architecture? Graffiti? Murals? Are there more?

How are these things similar or different?  
Do they are require creative elements to work?
Do they use the same materials to express colour, emotions, design, point of view? 
Is art present in all of our lives... Precolombian, Native people of Chile & YOU?
