Graffiti Art Brings Positive Effects to Our Society
Yang Mary

Our world is constituted by many different cultures and societies that make different ways to present their cultural values in art world. However, some of these societies do not have access to art world. But they still try to develop ways to express their emotions and thoughts. Therefore, Graffiti was created to express their feelings and also present their cultural values and system values. When I looked back to the development of graffiti art, I found that graffiti art has been last more than 30 years and become a popular international emerging art form. Moreover, the creation of graffiti art has been developed to a diverse branch system such as New York’s laser graffiti research lab (NYGRL. graffitiresearchlab.com), three-dimensional graffiti sculpture, street graffiti wear brand, street graffiti music, graffiti graphic

    Graffiti art is intrinsically deviant or criminal behaviour. If there is not an illegal aspect to the creation or perpetuation of the artwork, it is not graffiti art. In most cities, painting or writing graffiti art is illegal and has legal con- sequences. Trespassing, criminal mischief, vandalism, and defacement of public property are just a few charges brought against an artist caught writing or painting…

    Graffiti and street artists a like have always had a reputation of being the anonymous voice of a nation of rebels, oppressed peoples, and free thinkers a like. Graffiti/street art could be found on just about any surface within and surrounding an urban setting, however it is up to the artist to depict their images on surfaces that could support their rhetorical appeal to the fullest. Artist like Banksy for instance, make a name for themselves when their work strikes a chord with just about everyone who sees their work with just enough knowledge of the human experience to understand the significance of the work. Banksy's "Mobile Lovers" is one of the best examples of effective Graffiti art because we as the audience can negotiate, interpret, and makes sense of the images we see in this work, as discussed by the chapter "Rhetorical Analysis and Visual Media" in Rhetorical Approaches to College Writing. The rhetorical appeals as well as the cannons of rhetoric are readily identifiable through Banksy's work with the aid of background knowledge of who Banksy is.…

    banksy case study

    • 3 Pages

    The artist that I have chosen for my case study is the reclusive, elusive, mysteries man known only as Banksy. “Banksy began his career as a graffiti artist in the early 1990s, in Bristol's graffiti gang DryBreadZ Crew. Although his early work was largely freehand, Banksy used stencils on occasion. In the late '90s, he began using stencils predominantly. His work became more widely recognized around Bristol and in London, as his signature style developed. He is also known for his use of copyrighted material and subversion of classic images.” (The Biography Channel website) Most of his work is what most would call graffiti or street art although over time and with reckless abandon he has taken a counter-culture society from backstreets to galleries around the world. Banksy first gallery show a self-funded event in 2003 titled turf war the venue being a rented run down warehouse. I truly respect his anti-establishment message, forcing fine art and high society to accept his chosen art form. Banksy is now enjoying the fruits of his labor “having pieces that have sold for over $200,000 at a Sotheby’s auction.” (Delana) “Journalist Max Foster has referred to the rising prices of graffiti as street art as "the Banksy effect.”” (The Biography Channel website) I also wish to be able to blaze a trail in gaming industry as Banksy has in the art world.…

    Graffiti from Pompeii

    Modern day graffiti has somewhat of a bad reputation and in most cases, is viewed by people in a negative way. When many of us think of graffiti, we usually think of the act of vandalism or destruction of property. However, the practice of modern day graffiti is considered to be a form of art as long as it is done legally. In Ancient Rome, graffiti was a respected form of writing with a more sophisticated meaning, not the kind of defacement that we often see on train cars or bathroom stalls. In Pompeii, graffiti was a common social practice and was widespread throughout their society. It was never thought of as a criminal act.…

    What Is Art for Me?

    Art has been created by all people at all times; it lives because it is liked and enjoyed. Art involves personal experiences of an individual accompanied by some intensity of emotion. Art is made of man, no matter how close it is to nature. Although each work of art is evidently the expression of an artists’ personal thoughts and feelings it may be inferred that, like any other individual, he belongs to a million, and he cannot free himself from the influence of his social, economic, political, cultural, geographic, scientific, and technological environment.…
