Street Art and Fine Art 
- Street Art has targeted the audiences as an ordinary public whereas Fine Art focused on more higher social status people. 
- Street art was created in the public using the public building or wall to create a message, while Fine Art was displayed in the private exhibition.
- Street art focus mostly on some public messages such as Climate Change, femism, social equity, political corruption; One the other hand, fine art just looks for the aesthetics. 
- Street art mostly used recycled materials to lower their expenses, while fine artist used exclusive products and best products available in the market to make their works more fantastic.

- Artist could not feel free to create their messages

- They feel free to display their messages and to easily transfer their thoughts to the public word.

If I were artist, I would choose to become Fine Art, because I preferred to have my works displayed in the museum or some exhibition. It was not about the earning income, but I feel like people who spent their time enjoying art gallery usually love fine art. However, fine art is not for anyone, it is only for people who understand their messages. Thus, Street art is not preferred, because I would not want my product to display on public while some people walked on the street may not understand it.
