Graffiti is the name
for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or
marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type
of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple
written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has
existed since ancient times, with examples dating back
to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. In modern times,
spray paint, normal paint and markers have become the
most commonly used materials. In most countries, defacing
property with graffiti without the property owner's consent
is considered vandalism, which is punishable by law. Sometimes
graffiti is employed to communicate social and political
messages. To some, it is an art form worthy of display
in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism.
Graffiti has since evolved into a pop culture existence
often related to underground hip hop music and b-boying
creating a lifestyle that remains hidden from the general
public. Graffiti is used as a gang signal to mark territory
or to serve as an indicator or "tag" for gang-related
activity. The controversies that surround graffiti continue
to create disagreement amongst city officials/ law enforcement
and graffitists looking to display their work in public
locations. There are many different types and styles of
graffiti and it is a rapidly developing artform whose
value is highly contested, being reviled by many authorities
while also subject to protection, sometimes within the
same jurisdiction... |
