Effective public art

Public art like other types of art has an impact on viewers. Mirzoeff states that”surely for the moment it is not so much what visual culture is, but rather what it can be enabled to do that matters.” This strengthens the fact that public art was designed to reach out to everyday normal people walking in the open environment in order to make a statement to them. A great example of public art that influences people are advertisement like billboards. Above are 2 examples of effective billboards. They are visually attractive to the people that drive by and they make a clear statement such as to buy their product and how their product is so effective. It is also that the clever, creative image sticks into your head so you remember the message of buying the product. This shows how the action of what the image does is the important part.
