GRAFFITI ART
Graffiti is a visual art used to express ideas and
feelings. This type of art is characterized by its creators as
abandoned urban spaces chosen buildings, subway or public walls to
realize their ideas. In Latin America conception and opinion about
graffiti it is different in each country.
In the cases of Brazil and Argentina graffiti art has won important spaces in society in general and is not perceived as vandalism. In these countries it is perceived as an art where ideas that invite reflection on the policy are reflected. Similarly, in these countries the graffiti are seen as a peaceful protest against capitalism. By contrast, in countries like Honduras graffiti it is not perceived as an art or as a subculture but this is seen as vandalism and artistes risk their lives by painting in the streets of Tegucigalpa.
Although in some countries the graffiti is legal and some not, the fact is that this is a manifestation associated with nonconformity in different areas of life of human beings. The importance of graffiti is that through the great wall or alteration of works of classical arts send a message of reflection and change society.

I agree with you beacuse graffiti is very important in many countries and also is considerate a big influence in art. Is very considerable the way of people think and do graffiti, is essential if people thik about it like vandalism or a way to express an idea that make a change on the society
ResponderBorrarIm agree with you in a lot of things. I think that in Argentina and Brazil this is considered a way of art, but in Honduras is dangerous for the people that do this, because in this country you can be killed if someone is in disagree with your ideas, and they are only trying to share an awareness message.
ResponderBorrarHi Laura, I can see that you understand why and what the artist express in their pictures. But, what do you think that they express their ideas in this way? Are you agree? Why?
ResponderBorrarI totally agree with you, Laura. Graffiti, or street art, is very important in some countries and an excellent way to people to express their thoughts and ideals. While in some countries people who do graffiti are rejected and criticized, in many others they are consider artists and even the voices of the comunity.
ResponderBorrarHi Laura, I think the same about the graffiti, but would you have enough brave to make a graffiti about something that you dislike or want to change?
