graffiti

My opinion on grafitti is that i think that is it art definetly not vandalism. I think it is art beacuse the time and effort the artists practice their word or piece that they do "illegally". people think that all type of grafiti is vandalism. this is not true. Location is a vital role in deciding whether graffiti is vandalism or if it is art. if the graffiti is on a house or property of another person people of the public think that is it more vandalism than graffiti. but say if the peice was done on a skatepark that nobody really owns all the skaters think its really cool and is art. artist skill is also important in looking at graffiti is art or vandalism. if the artist is good and does his artwrok in alot of places then more of the public will reconise his good artwork and appreciate it more. rather than another person just tagging private property.

Tag : a tag is the most common symbol of vandalism. wherever you go there is tags, there is not much to say about them but they are ugly and and a very annoying thing to have to clean of your front fence. A tag is most of the time done with a graffiti spraycan or pens.

Piece : A piece is one of the big bubble writings, its when a tagger steps up and starts to do his word in bubble writing it’s a much nicer thing to look at and takes a lot more time and skill than a tag, some of the things these graffiti artists can do is amazing. They use special types of spray paint called ironlak, they don’t soak in to anything so the colors stay strong and don’t fade, they also have special caps, which makes the spray paint come out really wide or really thin.

Stencil : A stencil is a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, or metal, with letters or a design cut out of it, it is then used to make the letters or design on a wall or whatever surface you want by applying spray paint through the cut-out holes. The main advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused with the same design over and over again.
