You only have to walk around town and you see some sort of graffiti weather it be small scribbles in a phone box, or huge tags on the side of bridges its exsists and will do so for a very long time.
I personally feel that young adolescents armed with markers are just being kids, and find writing who they fancy etc on a wall a bit of fun. I do think however it looks unattractive and in the article I found online it does often make the area or town seem unpleasant. If contains offensive or racist signs then it should be removed. Yet on the other hand England is lucky because in Rome graffiti is on every bit of spare wall, brick, building or shop space available!
I disagree with it being described “graffiti is not art”. After all some of the work takes hours and looks pretty impressive. Wasn’t it on the news that there are specific graffiti places to go where you can go and express your self through graffiti. Some of the work displayed in these places and around the city can indeed be described as art, after all after walking round art galleries these days, the word art’ can be anything from a picture of rubbish to a sock!!
