Answering Questions ⑤

I am going to anser to question 9 & 10 :)

9) If graffiti was legalized, would it still be considered as vandalism?

This is all just my opinion, but many people consider graffiti as vandalism because some graffiti artists paint on someone's property. Even if graffiti was legalized, I think it doesn't mean that they would allow them to continue damaging people’s property. It would probably only allow graffiti to be painted in certain public spaces or areas. Unless all artists follow the rules, even if it was legalized, I feel that many of the people would still consider it as vandalism.

 

 

10) How did graffiti spread around the world?

 

 

Modern graffiti, as Azusa explained in the earlier post, is said to have appeared in Philadelphia in early 1960s and reached to New York in the late sixties. As the tome goes on, graffiti gradually starts to get paid attention. In 1971, New York Times made an interview to "TAKI 183", a graffiti artist, which was the first time this subculture was introduced to the world. This article spread graffiti to the world and TAKI 183 got well-known as the first writer. 

 

Sorry for being a little short. There wasn't much information.
