What do people think of when they see graffiti? Is it art‚ vandalism‚ or could it be both. Graffiti is a relatively new and developing art form that presents a lot of controversy due to its involvement of illegality. A lot of people see graffiti and instantly label it as vandalism and not an art form; however‚ by legal definition that’s not always the case. According to Oxford Dictionaries‚ art is defined as “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination…producing works to

Every piece of art has a meaning behind it‚ whether it be obvious or a little more vague. Graffiti is just another way for people to express themselves through art.

Although some say it is vandalism rather than art‚ graffiti should be considered art because it takes time‚ emotion‚ and creativity‚ just like any good painting‚ the only difference being the canvas. If graffiti shouldn’t

The location I chose for my ethnographic essay was The Museum of Modern Art‚ commonly known as the MoMA. I traveled to the museum on Saturday‚ March 6th‚ 2017 and arrived at 3:11 pm. Surprisingly this museum was quite small at least in comparison to the grand museums I’ve visited in the past. The exhibit that I focused on was their ongoing collection gallery that displayed art from the 1880’s through the 1950’s.

Fahrenheit 451 "They always say time changes things‚ but you actually have to change them yourself."This quote written by Andy Warhol relates to the thematic significance of the title Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury‚ which is demonstrated as change. Fahrenheit 451 refers to the fireman Guy Montag who is burning in his unawareness of his profession with the society.

AMERICAN CULTURE Visual and performing arts 3.Arts and letters The arts‚ more than other features of culture‚ provide avenues for the expression of imagination and personal vision.

Verdaccio Underpainting: A Brief Introduction Verdaccio is an underpainting technique and color which came from the Italian fresco painters of the early Renaissance.

agree with me on that. Some people need the city noises and some people will never get used to them. But one thing is sure.

I agree on that. Even the biggest concrete jungles
