Everywhere you look today it seems like there is in one form or another graffiti .Yet in the art world graffiti is seen as some of the lowest form of art produced today. Looking at the murals you can see that this artist has poured their heart and soul into it. So then why do we look down on graffiti? I believe that it is caused by the generalization of the word. Anyone who has ever used a public bathroom can confirm that the stalls are littered with what is classified as graffiti, but this is for the most part just trash that someone drew up when they were bored and had nothing better to do. Graffiti has so much more potential then it is given credit for. It is able to reach the masses where they have with just as much power as any other art medium; as such I think it should be shown more respect from both citizens and governments alike.
