Crime and community

Street Art divides public opinion; it is seen by some as a way to brighten up our communities while it is considered by others to be nothing but vandalism. So, is it art or not?
These days, it is not only grannies who knit. In cities such as New York, London and Berlin, community art groups are busy ‘graffiti knitting’, creating colourful decorations for lampposts, parking meters, cars and statues. Now knitting needles are clicking worldwide and cities are inviting the knitters to transform their public spaces.



Most people remember playing with Lego bricks as a child. "
Lego repair work’ was created by German artist Jan Vormann. Jan spent three years travelling the world, fixing crumbling walls and monuments with Lego. Cracks in buildings soon disappeared and were replaced with bright Lego shapes, Most New Yorkers are pleased with the Lego-look.




Most big cities have their fair share of graffiti, but, like it or not, one British graffiti artist is now considered to be a worldwide phenomenon. Banksy’s work has even been exhibited in art exhibitions and a lot of his works have been sold. Some find Banksy’s work offensive, while others think he is one of the most important artists today.

Of course we can't forget about classic things like books. As for me reading books is the best variant spending free time. And my favourite writer is Agatha Christie. I love her style of writing. So, I want tell about she. Aigatha Christie was a famous English crime writer who is best known for her detective stories featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. Agatha was born in 1890 in the seaside town of Torquay in Devon, England to an American father and an English mother. Her family was well-to-do and conservative and she was the youngest of three children. During the First World War, Agatha worked as a nurse in a hospital and it was during this time that Agatha Christie got the idea of writing a detective novel. In 1971, she was awarded the high honour of Dame of the British Empire before passing away peacefully on 21st January 1976.

She has written fantastic detective stories but they were about crimes in the past. Today we have another tipe of crime: Cybercrime.
