Graffiti by John Madgett

This piece of graffitti found in little 5 points is a very interesting portraits of the urban people which i think is of the inhabitants of this particular area. It is very personalized in the styling of the artwork in the spray strokes of the spraypaint.

To me graffiti is a an interesting type of art. I like how the artist express themselves whether it be on paper, sidewalks, or even walls. The best thing about graffiti artist is that they really dont have any experience. Graffiti artist create things that maybe going on in the world, something that might be going on in their life, or even religious drawings. Like the drawing of the graffiti on the side, that says Amen. They also use vivid colors in their pieces, that capture your attention.

Graffiti by Melissa Money

The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art, or just plain vandalism. Some graffiti is simply a monochrome collection of letters, known as a tag, with little artistic merit. Although tagging is the most common type of graffiti, there are bigger, more accomplished examples that appear on larger spaces, such as walls. These are often multicolored and complex in design, and so start to push the boundary of whether they should really be defined as graffiti art, like the picture to the left for example (found in down town Atlanta). I believe graffiti is an art form because it is a product of human expression. If it wasn't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without the owner's permission, then it might be more recognized as a legitimate form of art.

Graffiti (Nicholas Williams)

I found this particular set of grafitti in Carrollton, GA on the side of a train. I find it to be very creativly done and thought provoking. To me graffiti is an art form, and not just art, but a very intricate form of art. It takes a great deal of time, effort, and creativity to be able to make it. Even though most graffiti artists do not have formal training, what they do is often more inspired than what a trained artisit would come up with.
