  3. What Is Graffiti? Graffiti is an art connected with urban culture, it is basically any type of drawing or text or any scribble on a wall, expressing something or someone or some kind of activity occurring.

  4. Where Is Graffiti Used? Graffiti is used in large cities like New York or such, it is made on walls or on the ground in alleys, streets or subway stations. It is mostly practiced in poor regions, which gangs, criminals and poor people live in.

  5. How Is Graffiti Created? Graffiti is made using spray paints, pastels, paints, chalk, pencils, markers, crayons, scratched by using sharp items, or marked in any way. Graffiti can be made by drawing layers for e.g. you can make an outline of the drawing or a rough design and then it can be covered with colors and shades and a bold dark outline to make it clear and recognizable.

  6. Why Is Graffiti Used? Graffiti is used to express peoples feelings and express political activities, it can express someone or some kind of activity that is occurring.

  7. When Did Graffiti Start? Graffiti is one of the art forms in urban and hip-hop culture, it first started in ancient times but it got into urban and hip-hop culture later and it became into a famous art to the 20th and 21st century generations.

  8. The Social Connections of Graffiti Graffiti is a one of the key art forms of urban and hip-hop culture. It represents the aspirations of the hip-hop/rap generation. Modern day spray paint graffiti has its origins in the streets of Philadelphia and subways of New York city. Graffiti was the new way of expression in crowded urban areas. Graffiti is used by solo artist and groups, as well as city gangs.

  9. History The cause of the first outbreaks of graffiti is tied to both political and social frustrations among the general public in America and in the West. This was voiced by the youth through the form of property defacement known as graffiti in the early 20th century. Political and socio-economic reasons are still a main cause of graffiti and graffiti related property defacement around the world among adolescents and adults.

  10. Individual Graffiti Artists Graffiti although indecent at times, as well as being very controversial is viewed by many, not including the graffitists themselves, as an art form. Graffiti where legal, is often created not as a symbol of retaliation or expression against any sort of system as seen in much of 20th and 21st century history, but more of an expression of urban culture. Graffiti is also known to represent many Urban cities around the world.

  11. Graffiti In Crime Graffiti is also seen as an expression of crime and the many flaws of the 21st century urban society. The lines between hip-hop and rap culture and urban crime, gangster culture in instances to be specific, are often intertwined. Graffiti as one of the representations of hip-hop and rap culture, embodies both influences of gangster culture and society, but also directly implied by many an urban youth. Gangs often use graffiti for a myriad of reasons. They use them for retaliation against the law, to mark their territory as a notice to rival gangs, and to cause problems for property owners, either because of direct reasons on the part of the property owner, or to lower the value of the property, for the gangs gain. Graffiti can be used to also gain more gang members, as graffiti is often the vocal point which gangs use to have a connection with the urban youth.

  12. Graffiti In Politics Graffiti can also be used as a political tool or manifest. Graffiti although illegal in many places, is used by political parties or mafias, to gain support and to grab attention of potential followers. Graffiti is also used for commercial reasons by big companies, but often under permission, as a way to advertise, through viral artworks of the advertisements around set areas of an urban location. Graffiti is used by both political factions and companies as a way to get attention specifically from the youth, as graffiti is understood to be, as stated before, a symbol 21st century urban youth and gangs.

  13. Conclusion Graffiti can be used as a powerful tool of manipulation of both the urban youth and general public, and can be used for a number of things. Graffiti can be beautiful and often poetically symbolic of the sometimes dysfunctional urban society, but also can be an aggravating tool of property defacing. In conclusion, graffiti in all of its forms and purposes, is the symbol of modern urban society, with representations of both of its flaws and advantages, directly and indirectly.
