Graffiti is an obvious form. 3.)Graffiti is not so much a cause as an affect of someones personality. 4.)For whatever reason they see it somewhat proffitable to their information industry, they have realized its not going anywhere and they may as well conform. And there is the possibility some of them appreciate it and want it heard! 5.)Pretty much anyone who doesnt understand it or know much about it or where it came from..... (mean, old people) Lol =) 6.) In an office where people are over worked and under payed in cities with affluence in the place of their sold out soul... More or less. 7.)People who have a passion and take their art seriously make graffiti. Angry people make vandalism.... Protest falls somewhere in between. 8.) Probably for different reasons. However offbeat its undeniably beautiful and people like it. Thats what really gets people started doing it. Pretty much the same urban story that skating went through from what i can tell 1.)Vandalism is the premeditated destruction of property where as graffiti is a form of self expression

I would also like to say that I respect the art myself, and I would love to get some more inside information and answers to your questions.1.) What's the difference between street art graffiti and vandalism to you? 2.) What makes graffiti art? 3.) How does graffiti shape someone as a person? 4.) How do you think the media has gotten involved with graffiti? Why do you think that they have? 5.) Who are the people against graffiti and consider it vandalism? 6.) Where in the world do you think graffiti is the most/least accepted? 7.) Who, if anyone creates vandalism and who creates art? 8.) Why do you think graffiti expanded so much over the years?I would really appreciate a response back. I'm so interested in what any of you may have to say. Thank you for your time. - Cally Hi, I am working on a project about graffiti and the idea of vandalism vs. art, so if any graffiti artists will please answer my questions you can email me back at cguasti [@] beaconschool.org.
