Title-Heartbeat Year Produced-2015 Medium-Spray Paint This artwork symbolises health and the importance of it in love. I used the colour red for the heart next to black and white to make it stand out. I made the heartbeat big and bold on the inside of the heart and as soon as it leaves the heart it stops showing the importance of love in health. |

Title-Giving to the Poor Year Produced-2008 Medium-Spray Paint The message that the Artist, Above is trying to show others that the rich don't even care for the poor. Just like the man in the picture he is getting money out and not even recognising the lady who looks like is sitting on all of her possessions. Another thing that Above has done is that he has made the money a big pop of green symbolising its significance. |

Title-First Love Year Produced-2010 Medium-Spray Paint The first thing I saw in this artwork was the pink hearts and the difference between both children's colour of clothes. The message I saw in this artwork was the girl blowing or throwing the love away and the boy is trying to catch it or repair the love. I really like the way that Above has told this message and it makes me feel like it is something that he has had experience with. |

Title-I'd rather beg than steal Year Produced-2009 Medium-Poster (street art) I really like the look of this artwork because it looks just like a picture of a person but black and white making it feel that little bit more older then it should look. This artwork also shows people that homeless people aren't always bad and they don't always look like they are homeless, some just look like normal everyday people. |

Title-For me this was not a choice Year Produced- Unknown Medium-Poster (street art) Just like the one above it looks like a real person. The first message that I saw in this artwork was that his parents have kicked him out and he is trying to stay alive on streets. I also think that the boy might have done something wrong for his parents to do something like that. It might have also been something to do with his friends and peer presure. |
