From each of them, a line, a circle, a curl, - this is how you get a unique, original work that can be honorably put on public display in a museum of modern art. Of course, an experienced artist should lead the process of writing out lines and curls, as well as take on the main creative task, who will set the tone, prompt, guide and ideologically inspire all participants in the conceived art project. This is probably how large-scale graffiti was born. Encounter of Watersdrawn with a marker on the wall of one of the pavilions Seattle Art Museum, on which the artist worked Sandra Cinto, two of her assistants and about 20 volunteers. The Encounter of Waters art project is completely and completely handmade, down to the very last line drawn with a silver marker on a blue wall. The sea worries, once, worried, twice, and again worries, generating waves and pushing them against each other, causing fountains of splashes and new waves, thereby closing the circle. Just as one wave gives a start to life for hundreds of others, just as a spark ignites a flame, so the graffiti that occupies an entire wall in a museum emerged from several smooth lines drawn by Sandra Shinto over the blue paint. In total, the creation of the Encounter of Waters graffiti took about two weeks, and every day the artists had to work on the project for 8-9 hours.
The unusual creativity created by the joint efforts of the art group of Sandra Shinto is not devoid of deep philosophical meaning. The leitmotif is the phrase "Nothing on earth passes without a trace", therefore, any change, even a small, seemingly insignificant detail, can change a lot, influence a lot, lead to serious consequences - and not always negative. So, the participants of the art project at first worried that their intervention would spoil the hand-made graffiti, that the lines they had drawn would be superfluous, but having seen with their own eyes how the picture was transformed with each new stroke, new detail, they cheered up and were filled with inspiration, and already more boldly worked on improving art project Encounter of Waters.
According to Sandra Shinto, collective work is only beneficial for such large-scale works. After all, how many people, so many opinions. And since each person is an established personality with his own point of view on what is happening to him and around him, the picture created by joint efforts carries a part of each of them, which cannot but add individuality and beauty to it. You can see the Encounter of Waters graffiti at the Seattle Museum of Modern Art until April 14, 2013.

Painted graffiti on painted walls. Creativity Jessica Hess (Jessica Hess)
Whatever one may say, and no matter how talented, original, unusual the graffiti on the walls, pillars and fences are, they still continue to be considered vandalism, hooliganism, albeit with the prefix "art", and from time to time they chase street art masters for damage public property. But the most ardent adherents of this art form stubbornly continue to decorate city real estate with their arts, and the most cautious and unusually thinking paint graffiti on … painted walls.
