Graffiti and street art in the Newtown area are pictures, designs or words that people draw or paint on walls, buildings, or sidewalks. It's like coloring on a really, really big piece of paper except it's on things outside. Sometimes people don't like it because it can make things look messy or dirty, but other people think it's cool and creative. Some artists use special paints or tools to create really interesting designs and messages. Street art means it's done out in public for everyone to see, instead of just in a museum or art gallery.
