Art is all around us, from graffiti on a wall, to a painting by Picaso, to a drawing by a five year old. Living in New York City I can see art in every street and every corner. Art can be found on the 14th street subway station, from the bucket drummer to the group of break dancers dancing insider the subway carts. Art is anything that can capture the creativity of an individual. Photography is my form of art. I can use my camera to capture something I find unique, whether its how the sun reflects on NYC buildings or capturing a special moment between two people.

Art can be found in many different forms. Graffiti for instance, can be considered art. Graffiti artist use spray cans to express their messages and creativity. Although their are some people that consider graffiti as vandalism, others consider it art and a way of expression. Five points in Long Island City in Queens was primarily a place where graffiti artist would get the opportunity to express themselves in a colorful way. Individuals can view art is severely different ways. While someone might describing a painting as abstract and complex another person might see the same painting as simple and basic. Art is a way in which we can express what we feel inside and is a way to let our imaginations wander into the impossible.
