Graffiti is a form of visual communication. It is usually illegal, involving the non permitted marking of public space by an individual or group of people. To be precise the term applies to designs scratched through a layer of paint or plaster, but its meaning has been unlimited to other markings. Graffiti is widely considered a form of disruptive behavior performed in order to gain attention or simply for personal thrills. But it also can be understood as a meaningful art form. Graffiti to me has a very long history. Graffiti is particularly well-known throughout the world; common targets were graffiti is expressed are subways, billboards, and walls. It is usually done by the young teen group, just to inform who they are as individuals and to express skills and self- identity. When the state of New York City, felt the need to clean up there city with the use of billions of dollars and in exchanged tried to give the young youth jail time for there supposing crime. I feel as though that time and money could had been placed in something more important than graffiti; such as giving these youths a better opportunity and focusing more on the crime rate. There could have been better measures taken. Like in the form of education to advance their artistic talents. I believe that graffiti is a form of art talent that not just anyone acquires.
