The Art of Graffiti
BY: Malik Shaibi
One day, I was walking down the
street where I saw a mix of bright colors splattered across a blank wall on the
side of the freeway. It was about six feet and it was an angry Pac-Man with
sharp teeth and the background was dark red and it looked as if it was going to
get me. The picture was so amazing I couldn’t believe it wasn’t in a museum.
Graffiti is writing’s or
drawing’s that have been scribbled, scratched or sprayed on a wall or other
surfaces in public. People consider graffiti to be vandalism, but I think of it
as a work of art.
Graffiti can express many
people’s ideas on a blank wall. It also expresses peoples feeling through paint
such as bright colors express the artist is happy and joyful. Were as dark
colors express the artist is angry and is in a bad mood.
On the other hand, graffiti can
be known for being vandalism, if you paint on someone else’s property. However,
if it’s your own property you’re not vandalizing, you are actually doing art.
I recommend you to check out
graffiti out in the streets. Every graffiti that I have seen are all unique and
the artists should be paid not in trouble for expressing their feelings.
Therefore graffiti should be mostly know as art not vandalism.
