I have always wanted to see meaningful street art. Not the graffiti
that you see on the side of buildings but paintings that stand for something that
is more than a gang sign or Harry <3 Sally. When you walk down the streets
of Berlin you feel like there is a museum of art surrounding you. On every
corner there is an amazing piece of art work. When my friends and I visited the
Anne Frank museum we had to pass through an ally way that was covered from the
ground to the sky in art in all different forms. It was awe inspiring. Then a
few days later, we visited the East Side Gallery. It is part of the wall that
still stands and stretches over 1.3 km of land. On one side there are beautiful
murals that have been painted by people all around the world. Then on the other
side it has graffiti words. If you look hard enough you will find me and a few friends
initials on that wall. WE SIGNED THE BERLIN WALL! I would rather show you the
paintings and have them speak for themselves than have me babble on about how amazing they are.
