Last weeks lecture was done by Glenn showing the class a video about different types of graffiti and basically the history of it as well. Well before I go any furthure I always thought that grafitti was just a crime and was fully against it. This video has taught me about graffiti in a totally different perspective that I had on graffiti before this lecture. This doesn't mean that I'm totally for graffiti and agree that it is fine to do, but I'm now more tolerant about it as well as more understanding about it as well.
Graffiti is done in many different areas in the world, from the United States all the way to Japan. Graffiti artists see their work as bombing the city, basically meaning that they are fighting the "system". This is surely a rebellious act towards the rules that govern our everyday lives. I think that graffiti is done to show that the world is in chaos and that no one is able to totally take charge of other people. By breaking the rules, graffiti artists may think that they are making their own decision in what they want to do, meaning freedom.
