Graffiti
Good or bad?
I think graffiti can be vandalism or art, depending on what it is.
Graffiti can be inappropriate things, like swearing. Most graffiti is done by teenagers. They draw and write many things, for example, swearing. They could be using this to get their anger out or they can be doing this for fun. It is bad for little children and can be disturbing to see.
It depends on what it is and where it is. It could be a mess or it could be good art. Whether it was on a fence or in a depressing alley, graffiti can be good or bad.
It can be a big mess. Not all graffiti is great. Sometimes when people write their names they might think that it is art but when others see it, they think it is rubbish. People also draw things that are not good at all but the failed art just stays there.
When it looks very good it can be called art. Sometimes graffiti looks really good but it still matters what and where it is. Some people will travel very far away to see good graffiti.
Some graffiti artists get paid to make special pieces of art. People will sometimes pay truck loads of money to get this. One reason why they do this is so that when people walk past it, they will see art done by a well known artist.
Graffiti isn’t completely good or bad. It can be messy or good art but it mostly depends on what it is and where it was done.
