Several techniques are used by street artists, although the “graffiti” intervention is the one most associated with the street art theme.

Below are some examples of art found throughout the cities:

Graffiti: stylized drawings usually made with sprays on the walls of buildings, tunnels, streets. There are many graffiti techniques and nowadays 3D works are attracting the attention of critics.

Stencil: similar to graffiti, this type of technique uses cut paper as a template and spray to fix the illustrations and drawings on the streets, poles, walls.

Poems: any type of literary manifestation that appears in the urban environment, whether on benches, walls, poles.

Stickers and Collage: called “sticker art”, this type of art uses the application of stickers around the city.

Posters: This type of urban intervention is very common, also called “bill-licking posters”, where posters (paper and glue) are fixed around the city, whether on poles, squares, buildings, made manually or printed.

Living Statues: often found in large cities as a form of tourist entertainment, living statues perform important work with the body, which remains static for a long time, performing small movements. They are usually painted and characterized.

Performances: these street performances can be theatrical, musical, circus (jugglers, clowns, etc.), being solo works or in groups.

Installations: there are numerous types of artistic installations as examples of street art, whether objects, different materials, with the aim of causing a change in the already existing scenario.
