  1. Hi everybody!!!
    In my opinion these videos are awesome. I think drawing that is quite difficult; I haven’t got the patience and the perfection to do that. About the second video I can say that is really amazing how with a table, sand and two hands you can represent a story with images. And about the third video I think it’s wonderful how people can cheer up other people’s lives, I mean, in this case: you are walking on the street and suddenly you find a cliff with fire draw on the floor. At least you would smile.
    In general I think people who make smart art are great people. Not only because of their capacity to do what they are doing but because they try to make people a little bit happier.
    Thanks, bye :)

  2. hi guys!! how was your morning? mine was a mess,my throat hurts a lot as my head omg.
    About this kind of art i just wanna say that i really love to see it, but i know that i couldn't draw as the guys in the videos. While i was watching them, i thought in 'Art Attack' and a man that worked in the programme made things like these. It was amazing but some of them were bored.
    the video that i liked most was the second one, it was amazing how he drew the landscape.
    the smart art is one of the arts that i like most, and it's funny the fact that you can be walking in a street and suddenly one of these drawings could appear.
    That's all, lol.
    bye x

  3. Well hello there!
    In my opinion, "Smart art" is the best way of showing what you can be able to do because it literally breaks all the rules made in the past, and I think that's sick because these people don't work because they are told to do so, but because they need a way to scape from the world that goes outside their little prodigious minds. I really love the first video, and I hope someday I'll get able to draw as easily and nice like the man, even though I could never be that good but well, one can dream. These people deserve the world, heaven and whatever they want because there's no better thing than art made on the streets just because.
    In my opinion, one of the best arts to exist is the Graffiti, but not the simple letters written on every single building but those kind of drawings and quotes of life that reach your heart. They don't get enough credits for what they do.

    Well, I don't know what else to say...Oops? I guess I'm going now, bye!
    Xx.

  4. Hi guyyyyyys in my opinion I think these videos are incredible because I think that if I were me I wouldn't do that because it has a lot of pacient and I haven't got it. The first one was awesome how an autism man have the capacity of memorize each building and all the streets, it was beautiful.
    The second one is so difficult to do that. I had just seen that another time because I had one of this kind of videos in my mobile phone.
    The last one is the one which I like most because I think this type of smart art has a deep secret in the way of the drawing tecnique. The watercolors, the charcoal, oils... are a help to make these exhibitions.
    I really like the smart art because it's art but bigger. I'm pretty sure we can make this with a little bit of pacient.
    Love you all. Xoxo :)

  5. Hi, how are you?
    About these three videos i think it is amazing and very nice to see the pictures all over the world.
    The first video it is so difficult to do that because first you have to memorize and then you have to draw it with all the details, with their perspective… I think only few people can do that so we have to take advantage of this people because they are a gift
    The second video I think it is easier than the first but its more interesting and funny. I never would have thought that with grains of sand could do wonderful things as the ones in the video, this form of drawing telling stories it is great to teach children!
    The third video in my opinion it is my favourite and the most difficult because you have to give 3d and make it real.
    Bye, see you soon;)

  6. Hi everybody!!!
    In my opinion these videos are awesome. As all of my classmate says this people are amazing. I like soo much the first video because she uses sand to draw pictures and with this pictures she tell us a story. For me it´s so difficult do this.
    The second video for me It´s easier than the first because he used paintings to draw it. But the difficult of the second video is the 3D . It´s too hard draw in 3D.It´s look real.
    I think people who make smart art are people not valued as they wanted. This people It´s amazing.
    Bye

  7. ´´Sup?
    As far as I'm concerned, this videos are TipTop, amazing!!!. Beggining by the first, I think that this guy is out of the world, how can he do that? He must have a marvelous memory to do that.
    The second video is peerless too!! For my first time I have seen this video in 2011 in Eurovision, I was head over heels about him. It's perfect. I could not draw so easily
    The third video is unique because if you go walking by the street and suddenly you see that yo are going to mad keen on the person than have painted this work of art.
    I'm out!! Bye

  8. Hello guys, even I have headache, I could watch all the videos.
    For me the first video is as imposible as amazing. He can draw what ever in question of minutes. The first video is the best because in the rest you can practice but in the frist you need a great memory.
    In th second video is very difficult to draw with sand and is very very beautiful, you have to bee very good at arts.
    Ithink that the third is the worse video because is the video where you need less skil but for me is very difficult all the videos.
    My favorite is the fisrt but the other two are greats videos.
    I hope to see tomorrow at class. Bye guys! :)

  9. How´s it going mates?
    In my opinion the " smart art " is so pretty awesome because it breaks all the traditional " rules". The first video impressed me a lot because I tought anything like that can be possible before see the video , if an autistic man can do that means that all of we can do awesome thing with a little be of effort. The second one impressed me as well because was really really pretty to do art with sand and the 3D art was the best because the picture on 3D impressed you a lot and is really hard to do it , i hope one day i will able to do it.
    See you guys.

  10. Hi classmates? How do you do?
    Wow… those people are terrific. How have they could develop such awesome skills? Simply incredible, isn’t it? I think their creations are extremely amusing and gripping, and pedestrians usually get hooked on them, whether paints, images or sculptures. From my point of view, I reckon street artists are really hard-working and witty, and they always expect very little in return (fact that makes them admirable).
    Since I was child, I’ve loved performances in the streets as well as play one day myself in one of them. But I’ve never been able to do anything of the sort with that ease. I’ve always been that kind of shy guys who easily get red in their faces and feel afraid of speaking up in public. However, … I don’t mind, ... I already know I won’t be larger than life. Ha-ha.
    Finally, my own, street artists are amazing and probably deserve the money that other “artists” earn either spitting random contemporary colors on the canvas or dressing up top-models with garbage bags and cardboard…
    Take care.

  11. Hi everybody!
    It’s amazing to see how with so simple materials like a pen, sand or a piece of chalk, some people can do so incredible things. In the three videos that we have seen in class, different kind of artist appeared.
    In the first one, Stephen Wiltshire is able to draw the entire city of New York after having observed it for around 45 minutes from a helicopter. He is autistic, so to make a drawing with such a high level of difficulty, and also with a handicap like that, is a great example of overcoming.
    In the second one, Ilana Yahav makes amazing drawings with sand, and at the same time she tells a story; in the case of the video, it’s the story about the friendship and loyalty between a dog and his owner.
    In the third one, Kurt Wenner draws in the street with a piece of chalk a 3D painting, and if you look at it in the correct perspective, it looks like it is in three dimensions! But the bad side of it, is that when it rains the drawing disappears, so if you see one, don’t miss the opportunity to take a photo of it.
    In my opinion, all this kind of art are more impressive than those which are in a museum, and also the artists that do this are more humble and they have no interest in earning money. An example of this is Banksy, who is an anonymous street artist who makes drawings to criticize today’s society.
    Bye!

  12. Hey guys!!
    Woow, I think this is absolutely amazing, I love looking at paintings and sculptures in museums, I think they all have a story hidden behind them and I like to imagine it.
    But this is totally different, it´s amazing to see how some people have such amazing skills, which in turn are so little appreciated by people.
    They make authentic art pieces, but they don´t show them in museums or galleries they show them in the street, this is what make this kind of art special.
    They present their paintings to the people that are walking in the street, I think they like to see how people act in front of their works, they want to feel proud of themselves after all the effort they had made .
    They like to do that and they like to exhibit, they don´t want money, and maybe they really need it, but it is their passion and I think a passion doesn´t worth money, is so important to know they do it because they like it and they want to please the other people.
    To finish I want all you realize that in the world exist many types of arts,.. but it is also true that we all have our way to express ourselves, and art consist of that, to express our feelings... In my opinion all the ways we use could be considered a different type of art.
    :) BFN

  14. About the first one is an amazing men that draw only with his amazing memory, he memorize the place that he wants to draw and the he drawing only memorizing.
    The second one is amazing to anybody can imagine that a persone can do art with sand as she does she draw vey well with sand and she is telling a story both.
    The third and fourth ones are from street artist that do the work fast and with all detail to the client that want buy them or to show their artwork to the people that is walking in the street.

  15. Hi friends!
    From my point of view these types of art are not recognized by people around the world, but sincerely some of these art pieces are much better that those abstract paintings which only two or three people understand their meaning.
    The way they work is incredible; they make art with the tools with which I would do a scrawl.
    I think that this people deserve places in museums and art galleries, just because the things they do are unachievable for most of the artists living nowadays. Their art is undervalued and the things they do are worth it.
    See you!
