Ah yes, graffiti. The classic spray-painted art on walls. Some designs are quite funky. Some designs are well thought out. Some people might think that it's just another nuisance in life. Other people think that it is a form of art. Now the question is, is graffiti art, or a nuisance?
Although in cases it is vandalism, to people it’s a passion, something they love to do. To some people, it's something that motivates them to strive forward. Although this is the case for some people, it's not the case for everyone. Some people use this as a way to vandalize property. I think graffiti is in some way, shape or form, art. People can express their feelings through graffiti, showing if they're sad, angry, or maybe happy.
So graffiti can be art in some ways, but it is vandalism in some cases. For example, when you spray paint property that's not yours, that's vandalism. It's a problem because it might be permanent, and damage someone's property. Some ways around the problem is to use paint that's not permanent and use your property because you own it and you can do whatever you want with it. As long as it doesn't bother other people, it's fine. One way to look at it is that graffiti is just art on another canvas, mainly walls. All artists draw on something, and that “thing” can vary on the artest. Some people use paper, some people use wood. Some people use walls.
In my eyes, I think that graffiti is art, but at a certain point, it will become vandalism. Graffiti can be very impressive art. I also think that it would be very hard because unlike digital art or traditional art, you can erase things, once it's there you can't change them. You have to deal with the mistake you made, and for me, that would be very hard. Graffiti also uses a lot of bright colours that contrast against each other. Of course, there are times when people go overboard and it isn't considered art at that point. I feel that in the right place graffiti can be considered art.
Everyone has different opinions on graffiti. In some people's eyes, it is a work of art. To others, it is vandalism. In my eyes, so long as it's in the right place it's considered art. If you destroy or damage someone's property, it's vandalism but it is art, in my eyes. What do you think about graffiti? Do you think it's art or do you think it's vandalism?
