Art can be defined as a human creative skill or a creative activity. Without a doubt, graffiti is a create activity. Instead of painting on a canvas or sketching on a pad, graffiti artists are using a wall as their canvas. Art is used as a way of expressing someone’s thoughts and emotions and graffiti artists use the medium as a way to express themselves. Art creates life and in a city where dark buildings cover the sun, graffiti is a beautiful way to make the city more entertaining and beautiful. Posted by: Anonymous ­ Yes, graffiti is a form of art. It is still expressing yourself through drawing. One of the only problems about graffiti is that it is  usually done on walls of public or private places. Graffiti should be done legally. It is okay to express yourself. Take a look at  abstract art. Sometimes, it just looks like a mess, but it is still art. It is the same with graffiti. Most of the time, it is done  illegally, but it is still art. Posted by: Anonymous ­ I am not for the defacing of buildings or underpasses, etc. Unless these places are so ugly and useless… There needs to be open  spaces for graffiti artists to express themselves… There are so many places I can think of that would benefit from Graffiti art… So many!  But… Leave the architecture and infrastructure alone… Get permission, and have a decent plan, and then create art that stirs the soul,  awakens the mind, soothes, educates and has a purpose. Posted by: CarolynFoxArtist - I think graffiti is art because people can write positive messages on the walls. Some people write things like "Don't give up" and "Stay strong." If you do graffiti in a positive way, it can be considered art and not vandalism. If you know someone personally who does graffiti, you would know whether or not it’s art. Posted by: Anonymous - While I appreciate the arguments about legality, and I agree that graffiti is often placed illegally, such arguments are not relevant to the issue of art/not art. Monet could have put his paintings on a train. We might still call him art, but that he has created "illegally-placed" art. Legal or not, art's definition should have little or nothing to do with its place of installation. Posted by: Anonymous - Imagine owning a restaurant and the windows were tagged. How might that affect your business for the day? Or at least until you could clean it up. What message does graffiti show potential customers or residents regarding your area. Low income areas have the worst tagging/graffiti and for obvious reasons. We work hard enough each day - I don't want to have to clean someone else's mess also!!! If it's art - do it legally on your own property. Posted by: Anonymous - I hear people all the time try to excuse graffiti as art. But the truth is that it's vandalism and destruction of other people's property. Someone may like graffiti and consider it an art form. And they try to use the definition of art to excuse it. But those people are missing a major point about what art is. Art is created by commission or on the property the owner wants the art made on. Most graffiti is done without the consent or permission of the owner of which the graffiti appears on. The graffiti "artists" go where ever they want and destroy other people's property. I wouldn't want someone to tag up the walls of my building, just because it's their "self-expression"... If I asked them to do so, then it's a different story. Why doesn't the graffiti "artists" do their work on canvas? Why do they need to tag public property? Self-expression isn't about destruction, it's about creation. Graffiti destroys. Go create graffiti and display it in a museum or an art show. Posted by: JohnValley FOR AGAINST Task 8 What do YOU like and dislike about graffiti?
