Graffiti - The Unlawful Art :: Urban Art

unrivalled day in the by and bynoon while I was surfing on the Internet, one of my friends forwarded a really interesting website addressed www.stillfree.com to me. At the beginning, I thought it was some kind of shopping promotional website but after clicking on it, an interesting video popped up. I saw a military personnel being video recorded while he was climbing up a fence of a military airport. Then, he ran quickly towards the pipeline Force One, which is the personal aircraft of the President of the United States, and label a graffiti drawing on the jet. It gave me a big shock after watch the video because that man actually sneaked in to the US military airbase and tagged the Air force One aircraft. The event was being broadcast on some major TV channels. After making everything clear, I completed that video was not really took place at the US airbase and it was actually made up by a prominent fashion house decorator Marc Ecko.The whole process of the video was so re al, but it came up as a campaign video to promote the art of graffiti. There ar many different points of view on graffiti and it has always on fire(p) arguments on its legalization. Graffiti can be recognized as a dust of art, or crime.Graffiti consists of inscriptions, slogans and drawings scratched, scribbled or painted on a wall or other public or private surface. tally to The Dictionary of Art, the word graffiti is derived from the Greek term graphein (to write) and the word graffiti itself is plural of the Italian word graffito. Graffiti is also a form of self-expression. It is the means used to express the artists identity, feelings, and ideas. The art of graffiti is also a kind of communication that links people regardless their cultural, lingual, or racial differences. When graffiti was first becoming popular, the tools being used were mostly large tipped markers and spray cans.Graffiti can also be analyze according to the elements of lines, color, and structures that a re present in the work in mold to produce a narrative about it. The graffitist first does a sketch, and therefore he or she plans out characters and selects colors. Next, the artist selects his or her surface and does a preliminary outline, followed by a filling in of colors and ornamentation, and whence the final outline is completed.However, graffiti is not readily accepted as being art like those works that are found in a gallery or a museum.
