So, Wednesday in class we watched a video on different graffiti from around the world. My personal favorite was the graffiti from Paris because it was very straight forward and beautiful. For example the stencils were detailed and it is something that everyone could easily identify like a women or rat. The artistic part was trying to figure out the meaning the artist is trying to portray to the public. I also noticed that most of the people who do graffiti are looking for a way to express their unsatisfaction with their government or society’s oppression. I think it is a good outlet because not only do you express yourself but also you put it out there for others to think about and possibly agree with you. However, I also find some graffiti pretty pointless, plain, and practically unreadable. I prefer to see something that took effort and means something. Overall though I think most graffiti is very beautiful.
i agree with what you had to say. especially where u said that its pointless where it is plain,random and unreadable. it is unreadable to everyday people like us but there are artists that have that vision to see what it says. i dont agree with that writing because most are done on places that look bad like delivery trucks and trains. overall tho good post =]
