ok i think that graffiti is art !!!…..taggers that do it and do it good should be able 2 show therr art work….but unfortually art is a crime…i think thats just soo stupid….ok teenagers that do it and use spray just 4 the heck of it they r the ones that are messing it up 4 the real artist and making the towns,cities,states look ugly
I know some people that do graffiti. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a place or places in Utah where they have a art wall or walls they allow graffiti and it wouldn’t be illegal? I know in California at Long Beach or whatever the beach is cant remember but the city gave the walls to the taggers and they can go there any time and spray paint on the walls. If they don’t have any graffiti art walls in Utah they need some so people can express their art legally.
Personally, I love well done graffiti, with meaning and symbolism. stuff that is actually art, but the chosen canvas is a wall, or train, etc. But things like somebody tags there name on a wall, that i don’t like. I also partake in graffiti. don’t instantly hate me for it. I am an artist, not a “tagger”.
I’ve been seeing this girl for a while now and valentines day is around the corner and im still confused on what to get her. I don’t want to buy her anything too expensive because im still not completely sure how she feels about me. So im thinking of making her something. This is what i had in mind:
I’m really into cars, I love graffiti art and I can work with spray paints (and NO! IM NOT A TAGGER!) So I’ve made a few model cars that look pretty good, hence my ability to work with spray cans and all that good stuff. Now, i was thinking of making her a “customized” car just for her, (Her name) edition I guess you can say. LOL. Painted in her favorite color, with a drawing of her name on it. I can definitely do this. This wouldn’t be the only gift, of course like a stuffed animal and maybe flowers and i guess basic valentines day stuff. i was just wondering if this “project” car would be a cute idea. And if so, would it matter if i choose to make the project car: my favorite car or her favorite car? I just want to show her that I really care about her and can’t stop thinking about her. In my opinion, this is a better way of showing her that. Read more...(245 words, estimated 59 secs reading time)
To understand why graffiti is so vilified by the powers that as mere “vandalism” one must know what vandalism actually is. Painter Gustave Courbet (a famous vandal himself,) considered it to be the “destruction of monuments symbolizing war and conquest,” a perhaps romanticised view I find difficult to agree with; since when did a bunch of chavs ever justify overtly the arson, for example of a bus shelter in terms of the shelter’s socio-economic significance? I’ve yet to hear one. A more apt descriptor is that of vandalism being the expression of an alternate culture, in this case the “criminal” one.
