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!
