Graffiti Or Art

Graffiti:
Writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. (Oxford Dictionary).


Art:
The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. (Oxford Dictionary)



Graffiti and art are very similar in many ways. They may seem different but actually graffiti is just street art. The only difference I personally could think of is that graffiti is a lot of the time is depicted as being done with spray cans. Art on the other hand is depicted as having somebody with paint and a paintbrush painting a framed picture. Is graffiti art or vandalism? It’s art, no doubt, but only if you have consent to do it where you are going to.
