- Green Graffiti
Green Graffiti is an environmentally friendly form of outdoor art (or advertising), idea being to leave the place where the art occurs greener than prior to the art. How this greening is achieved is usually by one of three means:
- Painting with a bio sourced natural paint equivalent (like moss, for a recipe see here and examples here) such that the living form is the art or advertising message, or,
- Planting into a structure or wall so that the planting forms the art or advertising message, or,
- Cleaning a surface in such a way as to leave the art or advertising message as required by the act of careful cleaning alone (also referred to specifically as reverse graffiti).
