Question

GRAFFITI....Vandelising or Art (your opinion will be use in my project)

Answer 1

Graffiti is art when it includes a lot of effort, creativity, and skill. Graffiti is vandalism when it's on someone's property, quickly and poorly done, or when it's just a plain sprayed-on name.

Answer 2

Deffinitely art! When you see old graffitis, you can almost tell what month and year it was created. It comments social issues and worries, musical tendancies, and when done properly creates a mood or emotion. It's the essence of art, expression by visual art.

People who believe graffiti is vandalism should approach thier cities to encourage them to give space for these people to express themselves. A lot of cities have done this with great success.  

Answer 3

hey! i am a street writer..........only think its vandalism when its on someones house or car or something, street art needs skill, creativity and can have a positive impact on others! cheer people up and express political views or just purely decorative!

art def, check out tate modern london exhibition on at the moment! - they have got artists to post designs surrounding streets really cool x

Answer 4

I think it depends on the type.

If it's simply some idiot writing his name, or drawing testicles on a public wall, then vandalizing.

However, if it's stencils, or murals, beautiful, then obviously art.

I love finding interesting street art, there's something that makes it more special when the artist potentially could have gotten fined whiles creating it.

I haaate tagging. Why take the risk when you have nothing interesting to show or express? Idiots.

Answer 5

If a fool just tag a name up the fresh, brand-new wall, to make himself/herself famous for it or just show he/she was there and had the dare to get away from the cops... that's vandalism. Not art.

But showing the life's positive side to people, cheering them up with pretty jokes or painting the idiot, grey, boring walls to make them colorful... that's art.

<<<So depends on the aim - I think.>>>

Here in Hungary, I like street ART, looking out from the train's window to the grey walls, buildings' backsides when I go to Budapest, Lake Balaton, Szeged, ecc. - and there are so much good graffiti, special ways to show creativity and so on...

And I like stencils too if they're not only signs "I was there, dare to catch me!".

By the way, mainly people only see those type of graffiti which are foolish, idiot ones - ruining the bins, benches. And they don't try to make difference between tags and graffiti. Was made by some paint? Go to h**l.

That's sad. Here.
