There are so many forms in which art is being used in public areas like street art, nature with art, paintings and sculptures in metro stations or airports or gardens.

Street art is the art which is done on the streets. This kind of art is usually opposed by the government as public space is used in it. It can involve traditional graffiti which involves sticker art, stencil graffiti, street poster art, wheat pasting, art intervention and street installation. It is spreading as popular art work throughout the lands and it shows us the impression of youth and energy.

These days nature has also become a part of art for the public spaces. It helps to reduce anxiety and stress, and also helps you to feel close to the nature. Living sculptures with plant bodies form an essential part of such displays. These displays not only are aesthetic to look at but also go hand in hand with the green building concept.
