Welcome to Ffion, Simone and Victoria’s webpage all about Melbourne’s Street Art. In this webpage, we have not only included graffiti, but have also looked at other aspects of Melbourne’s street art such as sculptures, chalk art and live performers. We will be observing the most popular spots for the certain types of street art, seeing how art has become a part of our culture, how everyday artists make a living and comparing the artwork of now and that of older generations. We have also put together an interactive map with sculptures and many pieces of graffiti art displayed as 'hotspots'.

We will be interviewing a member of the city council and an artist about different styles of art in Melbourne and how the city council handles new graffiti laws, illegal art and laneways. During this we will also visit some laneways and iconic pieces of Melbourne’s art work such as Degraves St. and ‘Three Business Men That Brought Their Own Lunch'. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ** - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- **
