Even as a documentary the characters were fully explored and made me think about art and why we made it. I partly agree with the film maker and other street artists about Guetta’s works not being great. From a personal standpoint I believe he is just copying what he sees. He does not create original work. He emulates other street artist, but does not make the art truly his own. Even when he creates art he does not believe he needs to do it himself. He thinks he can just hire people to do it for him. To me art is something you have touch and mold with your hands. You have to become a part of it by creating it. Half of what makes art enjoyable is the creation. Starting off with nothing and ending with something incredible makes art worth the work. I also agree with Banksy that art takes time. Artist need to find what makes their art special. Skills need to grow and honed upon before moving on to big overwhelming projects. Artist start from the bottom and work their way up. In a way I also disagree with Banksy about Guetta’s work. If creating art makes you happy then you should do it. It does not matter what others say as long as you are happy with the work you have created and can stand behind
