Why Should Graffiti be Considered Art?

In this article, I will explain why graffiti is art, and I will explain how graffiti is essential in our culture.
There are some reasons why graffiti shows us the potential that life has to offer.

First, graffiti enables the public to see something they may have never seen before. It connects them to
the artist, and the artist gets to know that their work is loved and affects those who see it. They can
take a simple old building or any piece of art on the side of a building and turn it into a masterpiece
by putting their mark on it. The artists who paint graffiti have made this art form what it is today.
Graffiti artists can change the meaning of what they are drawing to the public.

Second, graffiti has the power to affect people positively. The people who create it are expressing
themselves. They are expressing their artistic abilities and their voices through a canvas. Their voices
are the voices of our future. You can tell the quality of a person’s painting by the audience that they
are drawing. People will stand and watch you paint for hours. Many times, they will stand and look,
never once moving from their spots. People will then tell you how much they like it and share their
thoughts and opinions. The artists are no longer making art for themselves.

The last reason why graffiti is an art is because of its uniqueness. Graffiti can be made with many
different materials, but its most common form is made by applying paint to a building’s wall. Graffiti
is made by someone utterly other than the artist, which means no two pieces are the same. Graffiti
is a form of expression because it gives the reader or viewer the chance to see something different
from their everyday life. Graffiti art is not meant to be understood by everyone, but everyone is
meant to be appreciated.

Thus, as part of the existing society, every person must strive to educate themselves of the origins of
graffiti and how it has evolved to this very day. A stock of knowledge doesn’t hurt; instead, it is a
door that leads to understanding and more positivity.
