Here's an easy one that we should be able to wrap up fairly quickly, is graffiti art actual art, or vandalism?
Art?
Vandalism?
I think that it dosen't matter how "good" we think that an artist is, the act of graffiti makes it vandalism, even if Monet were to paint waterLilys on a train or building without permission, it's vandalism. Some of these artists are very good, but the way that they express their work is not. I wouldn't want them to paint on my house, why should they be allowed to paint on a public building?
There, that shouldn't be too controversial...

I guess it depands on the art on the wall. It can be great art and it can be vandalisim. I think of vandalism as negative comments and dirty messages on walls in the bathrooms. Some artists have no other way to express their creativity but to draw on the walls we see on the streets. I have seen some really creative art on bridges and walls on the street and I wonder if these people ever became anything more.
