Graffiti
Graffiti is a controversial topic that has long been debated as both a form of creative expression but also as an act of vandalism. While some graffiti artists put significant time and effort into their work, graffiti is often seen as vandalism when done without permission, especially by younger people looking to emulate more experienced artists. However, graffiti began as an art form in the 1970s in New York City, pioneered by artists like TAKI 183, and some graffiti artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring later gained recognition for their work.

Graffiti history
Graffiti originated in the 1960s in Philadelphia and New York City, starting as gang art on subway cars but evolving into individual artistic expressions known as "tagging". Artists would develop elaborate designs and styles, such as "throw ups", "softie letters", and "wild style" to distinguish themselves and show dominance in the art form. However, the Metropolitan Transit Authority worked to curb graffiti by increasing security and cleaning, leading most artists to move their work to streets by 1986. Some still see subway graffiti as the true form.

Banksy is a famous pseudonymous graffiti artist from Bristol, England. He has become world renowned through his graffiti and street art that comments on political and social issues. Some of his most famous works include painting animals at a 2003 exhibition in London, printing British 10 pound notes with Princess Diana's face replacing the Queen in 2004, and doing a series of works on abandoned buildings in New Orleans to commemorate the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

History of Graffiti
Graffiti began in New York in the 1960s as single hitting and was done predominantly by Puerto Ricans and African-Americans from poor, inner-city neighborhoods. In the late 1980s, graffiti was forced to transform as cities built secure train yards and enacted stricter laws in response to graffiti on subway cars. Most artists then took their art to the streets, though some began painting freight trains, losing a vital part of graffiti culture. Varying graffiti styles developed over time, from quick throw ups to complex wildstyles.
Banksy vs King Robbo
The document describes the long-running rivalry between graffiti artists Banksy and King Robbo (real name John Robertson) that began in the 1990s in London.

Though their styles differed - Robbo worked freehand while Banksy used stencils - the rivalry drove them both to increased artistic output. While antagonistic, their collaboration also blended their styles and influenced street art. The feud ended tragically with Robbo's death in 2014.

Street Art Meets the Market
Street art has increasingly met the market as its techniques like stencils, wheat pasting and murals have been adopted by corporations in advertising. Once seen as rebellious, street artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have seen their work promoted for commercial purposes. New technologies like projections, QR codes and augmented reality provide both street artists and companies novel ways of interacting with public spaces, sometimes blurring the lines between street art, promotion and advertising.
History of Graffiti
The document discusses the history and origins of graffiti art. It traces graffiti back 30,000 years to prehistoric cave paintings. Modern graffiti emerged in the 1960s with teenagers tagging subway trains in New York City. Graffiti grew closely associated with hip hop culture in the 1980s as artists used spray paint and stencils to create designs. Artists like Basquiat were influential figures in both the graffiti and hip hop scenes in New York during that time. Graffiti continues to influence modern art movements while also dividing opinions as more mainstream artists like Banksy have adopted the style.

Graffiti art
The document discusses the history and origins of graffiti. It traces graffiti back to ancient Rome, where political statements and satire were scratched onto walls. The word "graffiti" comes from the Italian word "graffiato," meaning scratched. While sometimes viewed as vandalism, graffiti has also been considered a form of art and political expression throughout history. Modern graffiti emerged in New York in the 1970s, where artists would tag trains as a way to gain exposure and mark their territory across the city. The document explores both the legal and illegal aspects of graffiti and provides tips for creating graffiti-style lettering on paper.
Street art or graffiti
This document discusses the differences between graffiti and street art. While both involve placing art in public spaces rather than galleries, graffiti writers primarily want to communicate with other writers, whereas street artists want the public to view and engage with their work. Graffiti focuses more on "tagging" with spray paint or markers to mark territory, while street art uses symbolic imagery and techniques like stencils or posters to convey conceptual messages to viewers. The intention of engaging the public is the main distinction between graffiti writers and street artists.
