page resarch and gather

During my research I have discovered that there is a slim chance on finding any good artistic pictures on Google because there are not many to find so I have used my knowledge and gone to well known graffiti sites and found some awesome pictures, to use. I have good photos because they show the peaceful themes in a very artistic way. They symbolize bringing everything together for example there is a mural I have chosen with the fish all swimming together on the wall as an art form. The way I am organizing them now is by countries: Canada, America, and Europe.
