One common objection is that graffiti is not art because it is vandalism and hence a criminal act. While it is true that it can be vandalism and a criminal act‚ these facts would not seem to have a bearing on its status of being art. The mere fact that something is illegal or classified as vandalism hardly seems sufficient to make something fall outside of the realm of art.

reasons were for writing graffiti. He’s been "writing" for the past six years. The word GRAFFITI simply means--words or drawings scratched or scribbled on a wall. The word comes from the Greek term "graphein" (to write) and the word "grafitti" itself is plural of the Italian word "graffito." Art in the form of graffiti (graffiti by style and considered so only if it appears on public or private property without permission) originated in the late 1960s‚ but graffiti in term of public and unsolicited

Graffiti is a form of art. The art of graffiti is probably the most common form of art found in the world. Whether it is your “tag”‚ or a mural on the side of a building‚ graffiti is present worldwide. Even in our town you can walk around the middle school and find some form of graffiti.

I do not agree with graffiti that threatens or includes profanity. Graffiti can be beautiful and breathtaking to look at. Graffiti is an art with no question

This way is called graffiti. However‚ there are some people who believe that graffiti is pure vandalism. Are they right? In my opinion‚ graffiti is a form of art‚ not vandalism. On the one hand‚ spraying colors on walls is a way for youths to express themselves and be a part of a team. Young people meet each other‚ make friends and evolve their drawing capacity.

it‚ whether it be obvious or a little more vague. Graffiti is just another way for people to express themselves through art. Nobody got mad at Michelangelo when he painted all over the Sistine Chapel‚ and nobody called it vandalism. Although some say it is vandalism rather than art‚ graffiti should be considered art because it takes time‚ emotion‚ and creativity‚ just like any good painting‚ the only difference being the canvas.
