Views on GRAFFITI


Art or a mess?

This is a kinda random thing to pick as ‘being bad’, but loads of people consider it to be a really bad thing whereas the people who do it consider themselves artists, so does that make it right or wrong?

In my opinion, in most places where there’s graffiti, it just makes the place look really messy and I really don’t see the point in it, especially when it’s just someone’s name or tag they use as opposed to a really good picture. If there are people who genuinely want to do graffiti as art then that’s fine, but there should be certain place put aside – like when youth groups use a wall on the side of their youth centre and let them paint that. But to do it to random places is just a mess and a waste of time for people who have to keep cleaning it up!

Lots of people think graffiti is just a nuisance:
