Banksy's Holiday Greeting Art Paints A Strong Picture About The Environment

Banksy has become one of the most famous street artists in the 21st century. He is one of the most controversial artists. His art can appear anywhere in the world at any moment and his identity has been anonymous throughout the 20 years he's done graffiti art. He roams the streets to use his images to bring about change.

A little background about Banksy: His art started in the 1990s where he had a crew of other graffiti artists. Banksy found his go-to style of art of stencils by the police almost catching him in the act. He found that stenciling is a faster way to paint. Banksy will use anything he finds to create his artwork. Banksy moved to London during the early 2000s, where he found his gain to fame. As a risk taker, he decided to paint nine pieces on the Bethlehem Wall, a separation between religions in Palestine. This time Banksy is giving us a look into the near future, which doesn't seem to look good at all.

Banksy targeted Wales to paint a mural of a young boy with his tongue enjoying what is seen as snow, but if you look at the other side of the wall it's not snow at all, it's ash. The town within Wales, Port Talbot, has a big problem with air pollution. Banksy was quick to post a video of the artwork and direct it toward the steel plant blame for all of this pollution. He isn't just targeting Wales he's directing this message to the whole world. Air pollution has been a big problem for many people over the course of a few years. This mural is Banksy's gift to us reminding us that there is only one Earth and we are abusing it with harmful chemicals.

This holiday season we should give back to this planet, because who knows when Banksy will strike next.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
