10 Examples of When Graffiti Becomes Art

GRAFFITI.1While walking through the park today with my dog, I came across some youths spraying graffiti on the park wall. It looked like a load of rubbish to me but it did get my brain ticking when I started to ask myself when does graffiti become a piece of art, or at least more towards a piece of art. So this evening I have searched the web for some interesting and beautiful looking graffiti.

    graffiti is a way for people to change something normal into something that is completely different but the same making it interesting. It is also the way some people express their art but in their style.

  16. H078 H078 says:

    I always considered graffiti as an art (did quite a bit when I was in my teen years)however i NEVER APPROVED graffiti on the nice old buildings built century or two ago. Those buildings are pieces of art for themselves….

    @ T-Whip ; You should build your own hope man, if you rely on others 4 that you will always be a toy. The art comes from within, keep up drawing and you will create your own style one day.

    All graffiti is Art, ‘Guess you could say i’m in outside sales!’.( Banksy ..!)
