李敏Brief introduction
Street culture is a new culture stem from.
America,which is the combination of art
,music and sports.It is a kind of self-releasing.Originally,street culture was just used as a carrier by African-American to convey their anger and resistance.And now,it is used for expressing the abilities of young people.Street culture contains lots of elements,such as street-dancing, skateboard,street-ball,bike stunt ,graffiti and so on.
源儿Graffiti
Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched,scrawled,painted or marked in any manner on property.Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.Graffiti has existed since ancient times,with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.In modern times,spray paint,normal paint and markers have become the most commonly used materials.In most countries,defacing property with graffiti without the property owner's consent is considered vandalism,which is punishable by law.Sometimes graffiti is employed to communicate social and political messages.To some,it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism.Graffiti has since evolved into a pop culture existence often related to underground hip hop music and b-boying creating a lifestyle that remains hidden from the general public.
Street-ball
耀华Street-ball is a less formal variant of basketball,played on playgrounds and in gymnasiums around the world.Often only one half of the court is used,but otherwise the rules of the game are very similar to those of basketball.The number of participants in a game,or a run,may range from one defender and one person on offense (known as one on one) to two full teams of five each as in professional or collegiate basketball.It is common to hear player arriving at street-ball game to
call out "next" indicating they are claiming the right to play in the next game.In recent years,street-ball has seen an increase in media exposure through television shows such as ESPN's "Street-ball" and "City Slam",as well as traveling exhibitions such as the AND1 Mixtape Tour and Ball4Real.
李敏Hip hop
Hip hop as a cultural movement is an artistic commitment to seize freedom from oppressive social conditions.This artistic commitment inherent in Hip Hop culture expresses a reality of human transcendence which was originally born out of the creative impulse and cultural improvisation of the oppressed African American,Afro-Caribbean and Latino American communities of New York City(with the South Bronx as the epicenter) in the late 1970s.It was DJ Afrika Bambaataa that outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture.Other elements include beatboxing,hip hop fashion,and slang.Since first emerging in the Bronx,the lifestyle of hip hop culture has spread around the world.
欣艺Skateboarding
Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. Skateboarding can also be considered a recreational activity, an art form, a job, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2009 report found that the skateboarding market is worth an estimated $4.8 billion in annual revenue with 11.08 million active skateboarders in the world. In 2016, it was announced that skateboarding will be represented at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.
Since the 1970s, skateparks have been constructed specifically for use by skateboarders, Freestyle BMXers, aggressive skaters, and very recently, scooters.
源儿Parkour
Parkour is a training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation.Parkour's development from military training gives it some aspects of a non-combative martial art.
李敏Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others and is usually—but not exclusively—carried out in urban spaces.Parkour involves seeing one's environment in a new way, and imagining the potential for navigating it by movement around, across, through, over and under its features.

欣艺Keith Allen Haring was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality, and war.
Haring's work was often heavily political and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century.Haring's work very clearly demonstrates many important political and personal influences. Ideas about his sexual orientation are apparent throughout his work and his journals clearly confirm its impact on his work. Heavy symbolism speaking about the AIDS epidemic is vivid in his later pieces, such as Untitled , Silence=Death and his sketch Weeping Woman. In some of his works—including cat. no. 27—the symbolism is subtle, but Haring also produced some blatantly activist works. Silence=Death is almost universally agreed upon as a work of HIV/AIDS activism.
