i agree, it depends on where the grafitti is and most of the time, what it says. some things that are scribbled on school property is just inappropiate and are considered a crime for vandalisim.

it depends on what it is.. if its a picture it could be art but if its just a name or gang related.. then thats not cool.

I think the graffiti on the sides of buildings and on brick walls is beautiful. Its amazing how much talent these people have. Ah I love graffiti so much.
Except I don't like just idiots tagging their names everywhere.

what other peeps have said. the style of grafiti is art, but when inappropriately placed, its crime

Yup. Exactly what I was going to say.
Oh, and shouldn't this be in debate? It seems worthy to be debateable.

It all depends, like everyone else is saying. BUT the actual point of graffiti is to be put on subways, trains, and buses. Then it went on to walls of buildings. If I was to decide, I'll call it ART!, not a crime!

if it really has a meaning. it's art. If it's something like NKB KILLAZ 4 LYFE---on any surface, it's trash. I say that because "pride is the sign of a foolish man". i seldom see graffiti-art. but when i do, it is really worthwhile to take a look at.

Art if it's like on paper or it's a mural on a wall or something, but graffiti if you just do it in random places on the streets.

legally vandalism is crime theres no arguing that but the "attractive murals" that you might find at parks and etc are art.

I think it's Art.. even though it CAN be a crime, I still view it as Art. There's some graffiti out there that are amazing to look it.. just so.. captivating. Haha. And they get in magazines and stuff.

graffiti is art.
when you place it on public buildings that dont belong to you, that represent gangs, its a crime. =]

To me; If it's on a building and looks really nice; and it looks like people took a lot of time on it; it`s art.
But if its on lockers or something; and it looks messy and as if someone did it to look good; then its crime.

It depends where or how it is marked. When done without the property owner's consent it constitutes illegal vandalism. When done with the owner's consent, or done in an adandonned buildings or walls, then i'll consider it as an art. _smile.gif

depends where I guess.
If it's an abandoned building it could be art, if it's like a school or business, then it would be crime.
Thats how I see it.

i agree.. but some graffiti is just BS.
