Answer questions in terms of business studies:

1. There has been debate over if this movie is genuine or a "mockumentary". What do you think? If it was a mockumentary - why would Bansky do this?


I think this movie is more of a genuine because this isn't like mocking something or someone.

2. What do you think the street artists are trying to get across to the public with their graffiti?
How can you tell they were effective?


Some people would want to spread their words around and some just wanted to draw for fun. But if they're trying to spread the word around, they'd make it attractive and unique so it would catch people
s eye.
3. What do you think that Mr. Brain Wash was trying to get across to the public with his art? Was he effective?


 His art is mainly changing up the pictures and he was pretty effective because many people says they want to see more of that artwork.

4. What do you see as the key differences between the street artists work and MBW's work?


Street artists aren't for money and they can actually draw meanwhile MBW's work is pretty much for money and he hired people to draw for him but he comes up with the ideas.

5. At the end of the show lots of people showed up to the art show.  Why the long line? What brought so many people together?


They wanted to see unique artwork and they wanted more people to do that kind of art.

6. Graffiti: Is it art or vandalism? How would you react to someone painting on your wall? What similarities do you see between graffiti and guerilla marketing? Where is the line for Shepard Fairey or Banksy, when they move from making art against the mainstream machines into making money off of their art from the mainstream machines? Did they sell out or did they achieve success?


I think it's vandalism but it's also art because it kind of depends on the graffiti. If someone drew on my wall I'd be upset because I would want to draw on my wall myself and design how I wanted to, unless someone painted on my wall and I liked it. Shepard Fairey and Banksy both achieved success.
