this is exactly what weve ben fighting over. each individuals perspective of art. art has not concrete specific definition, it will always be argueable. thats what this thread is for
I voted graffiti as art, because I think it contains artistic elements, and is a good portrayal of actual art. As picasso said art isn't decoration, but an offensive and defensive weapon against the system. At the same time it's more than art and has more to it, the expressions are far different than anything else. It's a toss up since so many writers are different, but yeah graffiti is graffiti, not just art, not just vandalism. meh, my ramblings and opinions.
dude. gay mode. good point man. i just think it depends on why the writer alone does it. some kids just scribble shit on a wall for gang territory. others wanna represent a symbol. others just like the thril of wrecking shit.
editing what i said in quotes what an asshole...ah well,as long as im not the asshole *wink,winks* ....oh and to stay on topic,i voted graffiti isn't art no real reason why,just did
me to. i just wanted to rebel and be cool yo. i write cuz its fun and the thrill is sex. then again stealing voting posters and writing ur name on them proves society is a big loose anal hypocrite.
yo ok this is my 2 cents listen up. i hope this will settle some of this shit but it probably wont. its honestly is both. art is defined as a form of expression and what not. graffiti (only the definition of the word) means vandalism and applying a medium to a surface ILLEGALLY. when you combine the 2 you wind up with graffiti art. look at saber. perfect example. dont just say hands down its not art thats not true. people may say oh well what if its a scribble and someone calls it art? its really not art if you didnt pour your heart and soul and blood into it. i speak for myself on this, i believe what i do is art, i also think its vandalism. you cant deny the fact that were committing crimes. but just because were committing crimes doing this art, that doesnt take away from fact that its art.

kids in this thread, nah, kids on bombingscience altogether, just make me mad. like "dude i love going out and wrecking shit ill die for garffiti blah blah blah i do it cause im depressed BLAH!" and all these dumb ass enem and saber quotes from kids that just watched infamy makes me fucking sick. 3/4 of these kids never even got out of there books and theyre talking about dying for graffiti. shits stupid. but, to answer the topic. graffiti is a crime and some of it can be considered art. it all depends on whos making that decision.
bombing=not art piecing=art i fuckin love bombin and gettin up, shits the best rush ive ever had, and you could consider bombing art only for really proggresed or progressive dudes, piecing is deff art tho
the way i see it is that if u do something and its clean its art u do something and its sloppy its vandelism even bombs man i got buddys that throw up three different coloured throwies and they looks dope its not sloppy it looks like they no what there doing personly i love going out and just throwing handstyles around big drippy handstyles
