Is graffiti vandalism or art?

Have you thought about it, if graffiti is messy, or art? Well if not, i'm here to tell you why it isn't messy, nor art!

In some countries, graffiti is classed as art, some also have a meaning behind it, like Bansky, he is a England-based Graffiti artist. Bansky goes around england doing graffiti.
Bansky is wanted by the police, because they think that what he does is vandalism, it is but it also has a meaning behind it. Some of it is art because they are told to do it, they also get permission from the council. Most of america's cities try to stop people from vandalising, but don’t you think that's what makes the walls look cool? Without the street art, the walls would be blank and boring.



Some countries such as America, class graffiti as defacement and vandalism, you could face punishments for this crime, not only because it's on others property, but because you don't have a permission to do it.

Most graffiti art around the world is messy, but it also has a meaning behind it. In some countries they have people to make massive paintings for them, but most of them are probably graffiti artist.

In my opinion, I believe graffiti is just messy art.

  1. Hi Tyrell, I'm Nika from room 8. The best part of your explanation was when you explained who Bansky was and what he did. Next time you could add some pictures to add colour. I look forward to seeing your next post.
