kind of art is naturalistic art,

impressive when you see a
painting or a drawing that’s
really life-like and really
natural, and looks exactly like,
er … what it has been based
on, so it looks almost like a
photograph – I think that’s
really impressive.
Speaker 3: I’ve never really had an opinion
of art. I’ve always found it quite
boring. Um … I was never very
good at it at school either, so
it doesn’t really interest me
that much. Er, the only art I do
like, though, is … um … art
by Banksy, which is … um …
he’s, er, English film director
and artist and he does a lot of
graffiti art, which I find quite
interesting and it’s … er …
different.

some people are unhappy about the

stopping vandalism and repairing the

Part of the problem, officials say, is that
young people do not appreciate their
