Tagging is an art, ey.Technically its also vandalism, since its illegal.
So it is only vandalism, because it is illegal? What if braking windows was not illegal, would that still be vandalism?
What is vandalism then? Only things which are illegal?
Interesting stuff. Im interested in what you think.
.....
Obviously graffiti artists are a whole underground subculture. To paint something somewhere, you need permission (at least in Brighton you do) but they are trying to re-name it 'aerosol art' which of course none of the artists want.
There is a lot around Brighton, and they are beautiful...but unfortunately still illegal.
Council does not like it, thats why they are thinking of re-naming it. Then it will be ok. As long as its not called ''graffiti''

"Graffiti is not art, it's crime," - Tony BlairWhat do you think about graffiti art? The professional one. Do you think its art, or is it a vandalism?
I dont think graffiti is vandalism, i generaly believe its art, just outside the studio or museum. But closed minded idiots like Tony Blair come out with sentences like the one above due to the ignorance!
I hate when people think that making something illegal will solve all problems!
I dont believe graffiti should be banned. Not at all. The tag-graffiti should be controled, i agree, but banning it all together is like banning a style of art.
Thoughts?
It should be illegal, but not to the extreme.

Vandalism is defacing property that isn't yours, so yeah, breaking a window is vandalism.

ARGHMy, slow minded, latino friend....what is your definition of art?
Using the imagination to express toughts or ideas in abstract ways.
One thing I don't like is the frivalous use of the word "Art". Like if someone gives an orangatan a brush and an easel, and the ape goes crazy and makes messy blotches every where, and then that's called "art".

How abstract? Are books art?

Some Graffiti is art, but most of it is no different then marking. Instead of piss, we use spray pain.
🤨 That was a dumb comparison.
Graffiti murals take a lot of time, skill, and precision and are clearly art. I can't believe you just compared that to taking a piss.

You did not read what I wrote!
"Some Graffiti is art," Graffiti murals fit within that "some".
"but most of it is no different then marking."
Animals spend a lot of their resources in marking their territory.
"Instead of piss, we use spray pain." This is me making fun of my own statement.

Drawing, coloring, scribbling or painting, whatever you want to call it on property that does not belong to you without permission of the owner is a crime.
Would you be alright if the worlds best graffiti artist painted a picture [esp. of something that didn't agree with your taste in art] all over the side of your car or house? Would you still call it "artistic freedom" then?

depends on what kind of grafiti...
You're absolutely right. For me, that's what it all comes down to. I think graffiti can be art, and when done tastefully it should be allowed to appear on just about any surface that isn't dedicated to some other function. Some of the graffiti I've seen is really great, even if it's only writing.
However, not all graffiti looks like the picture posted by lil B. A lot of it is little more than bathroom stall chicken scratch and personal attacks that mean nothing to anyone that will ever read it.
So unfortunately this is a case where the negatives outweigh the positives. If everyone who picked up a can of spray paint and coloured a brick wall next to a parking lot did so in a tasteful manner(which is subjective) no one would have an issue with it. But they don't. (speaking of which, the picture you posted lil' B would have been approved or sanctioned by the city government of the town in which the mural appears. I don't think there are a lot of vandals with scaffolding)
