When you see graffiti on the side of a highway overpass, or
the top of a billboard don’t you wonder how they were able to get up there, put
it up, and get back down without getting caught?
To the older generation they see graffiti and say “ugh they
destroyed that building!”, but to todays generation, graffiti isn’t vandalism,
but art. It doesn’t necessarily take away from the beauty of a building, but
adds to it. Graffiti has become a big part of society today, it can be found
everywhere from the sides of buildings, to album covers of great songwriters.
Well know graffiti artists went from being hunted down by the cops for putting
up their work to selling their work in galleries for thousands of dollars. A
lot of time, thought, and effort go into it a good portion of the time. It can
be something small, or it can be something large. Its not only done with spray
paint, but some are posters cut up into several pieces then assembled on sight
and glued to the wall, while others are small, and put in places where you
wouldn’t notice unless you knew where to look.
