"GRAFFITI"

To most the definition of Graffiti is "images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is sometimes regarded as a form of art and other times regarded as unsightly damage or unwanted.
Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples going back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire and may range from simple scratch marks to elaborate wall paintings. In modern times, spray paint and markers have become the most commonly used materials. In most countries, defacing property with graffiti without the property owner's consent is considered vandalism, which is punishable by law. Sometimes graffiti is employed to communicate social and political messages. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism. There are many different types and styles of graffiti and it is a rapidly evolving artform whose value is highly contested, being reviled by many authorities while also subject to protection, sometimes within the same jurisdiction."

Graffiti is an expression of feeling and emotion, which is art. Graffiti is one of the most forgotten and unaccepted arts, but has been a major movement for a long time. Graffiti is something so unexplainable; it is so much more than just words sprayed on a surface. It has touched many issues that have been hard to influence, such as; the streets, struggle to be free and creative, and the struggle to get a positive message heard in a negitive place.

Graffiti ART



Hitlers's Art


















Hitler will always be remembered by most as a bad person who never did anything progressive or beneficial. That may be true in many ways, but the thing that most people don't know about Hitler is that he also did Artwork. Though he never fulfilled his dream to attend a School for the Fine Arts, he did manage to create about 2,000 works of Art. He also was a part of the design of the Volkswagen. Hitler's artwork never made it past that, and he will not be remembered as a Fine Artist, but he did put his own mark on artwork forever.
