Graffiti vs street art


Trent doesn’t waste any time and gets right to the point: is graffiti vandalism or is it an art form? Like most arguments there is a double edged sword Living in the Boston area where there is a lot of graffiti, I can relate to a lot of the comments other students and teens made. You can tell that not every interview was held in a quiet room, but the quality range from each comment isn’t drastic enough to take away from the piece. Personally I agree that if thought is put into it then it can be viewed as a form of expression and not just a juvenile act against the law.
A friend recently made a short film about the same subject. The film raised a lot of controversial questions at the screening. Unfortunately, the video has not been posted to the internet because it contains footage of a teen tagging an area.
