As I See It, Graffiti is a Wild Form of Art

For some, a spray painting on a wall might seem disgusting, for me I look at them as a piece of art, particularly if it's by the likes of Banksy. Graffiti is an expression. It could be an expression of anger or frustration or simply love displayed in a wild form. It could capture any emotion of a person. But you need to have an eye to find the deeper meanings behind every stroke on the wall. It isn't something recent that has come into practice by the rock bands. It dates back to the prehistoric ages, when you see the caves of our ancestors you would notice the paintings on the walls and the carvings on the stones and bones. They were also a form of graffiti. Another form of graffiti, if you have noticed, Today it is even a medium used in politics to express their views and opinions. You must have also noticed it being used by different religions to preach their teachings. So, the overall look of it would reflect that the term graffiti should not just be related to vandalism or ruining of public property, but also a form of art. But to think of it this way one needs to be very open and generous. Not everybody appreciates a newly painted wall worked on by spray paint to express somebody elses opinion.
