So I’m doing an essay on street art and after what I’ve gathered, there are three types of graffiti:

1) tags(basic writing of a name/word usually with a pen)

2) throw up/flow(the name/word is colorful this time, the letters usually look puffy or like bubbles)

3) fresco(I found that it’s when the word becomes the masterpiece and they add tons of detail and elements to it so it’s not just a simple word/name anymore)

Is this correct? Please if it’s not(even in the slightest way), help me :)

Because I’m confused what the difference is between a fresco and throw up/flow like I don’t really see a difference.. please explain to me how they’re different :)

Also if I’m missing any type of graffiti techniques please correct me too.

Hope you have an awesome day!

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
