Modern art/Graffiti

Street art is a form of expression. It is usually done to express feeling about political issue, the loss of a love one, racial awareness, ethical issue and war.
Graffiti is the common term for spray painted work in the public domain. Popular locations for art work are train stations, estates, markets and underpasses. These types of locations are preferred because it has a larger audience and will receive the response that the artist wants.
Graffiti is seen as a bad thing because it defaces public property. Youth culture is also a reason why graffiti is not appreciated as many young people use the method to promote gang culture and distasteful squiggles on buses and shop fronts, this vandalism and not art!
