Connection: Street Art and Freestyle Soccer

We just recently watched the movie "Exit Through the Gift Shop" and it was all about street art. This movie showed me that street art is nothing like the art you see in a museum or an art gallery. Street art is made by the a citizen trying to spread the word or trying to express themselves. They write or draw on walls, signs, sidewalk, anything they can find. This reminds me a lot about soccer and how there is another branch to soccer, called freestyle soccer. 

What I realized while watching the movie is that the street artists of course have a love for art, but they may not have the money to become professional or famous. So they do things on their own. This is pretty much equal to what freestyle soccer players do. They love the sport and they love the technique and everything, just like how a street artist would love art. But they may not have the ability or the amount of skill to become professional. Instead they take time just learning skill moves, moves that look very appealing and are also very difficult to achieve. 

Also I saw in thought to myself while watching the film, "I bet most famous artists can't do some of the stuff these street artists can do" and I really do believe that. The same goes for freestyle soccer. These freestylers, they can perform the most crazy and ridiculous moves I've ever seen! Most professional soccer players can't do all the moves a freestyler can do, they are beyond amazing!

I just thought that these 2 things could be related to each other pretty well, and I think they can go together hand in hand. They are pretty much identical cases except the subject is different; one is a sport, and the other is art.
