  4. Just doing something with spray paint might make it graffiti, but it does not necessarily qualify it as art.

  5. It has form, color, and other base properties as well as an arrangement of these elements into structures that qualify it aesthetically as being art.

  6. Graffiti was spawned as an art of necessity, employing cheap materials and available space in order to create a new means of expression for those without access to more conventional ones.

  7. Murals appear to have closer associations with the art world while tagging continues to be linked to vandalism and street crime.

  8. Graffiti art is separated from everyday graffiti markings by the artist's intention to produce a work of art.
