Everyday you learn something new. Today we watched a video about a man and his photo editing. As I said in class, there was a definite relationship in the art of the 2 projects, the photos and our graffiti. I think that the differences are more important though, because the pictures are legal art, but graffiti is not. I read a whole article today about how graffiti can be justified, at http://www.graffiti.org/faq/damico_a_legal_and_economic_analysis_of_graffiti.pdf. I think that people need to find a way to make their graffiti somewhere other than walls. Could the same thing be done on paper? I dont even embrace the idea of legal graffiti walls, because it seems dangerous to get a huge group of people that might be in gangs together. I know my project is more about cleaning up graffiti, but in our awarness i think we should do something to recommend alternatives.
