​ ​Graffiti The art that i am doing is graffiti. Many people don't think graffiti as art. It is misunderstood and many people think that it is bad look. But some graffiti are great looking peices of art but some peices of graffiti are very rude and mean to others. Graffiti is a crime and if caught doing it you can get a fine and, or community service. These artworks are found all over the place so it is a public piece of artwork, on walls in the street and on signs. When you drive up to Melbourne on the way you can see lots of peices of graffiti on the walls of the factories and shops. Skate parks all over the world have quite a bit of graffiti. You can find them in alley ways, houses and fences. Graffiti is all over the world.

Graffiti is done usally with spray paint but can be uses with paint, textas, pencil, pens and even dirt and mud. Graffiti can meen something about the person who has created it or can just be done for no reason. Graffiti is unique because its is there for us to see and admire or hate. The way graffiti is written is unique because it is all joined together and hard to understand like in picture 3. But the most unique way to me is how they can get so much out of just using a spray can or paint brush. Graffiti is mostly not planned with a draft so it is usally something that meens something to the artist. My favourite picture is picture 1 because the way the artist has used the paint to create the picture is amazing. The artwork looks like it is jumping at you and looks very realistic with strange colours. Picture 2 is unique because of the design and meant something to the artist. I love the patterns in the eyelids of the charactor.  Some art elements that are used is colour and shade. Most graffiti is in black but some come with lots of colours to make the  artwork look good. Like in this picture below the colours are white, blue black orange and pink. The colours have been used very well because they have used blues, oranges and pink which arent really used to make humans but this artist has turned these colours into a different type skin colour. Shade is used alot mostly for the picture graffiti to bring out the picture and set a focal point. It is also used to make parts of the artwork to look 3D. The shades are mostly one colour but with different tones. Like in picture 1 black has been used to make the shade along with line. But the artist has used the main colours in the artwork to make the artwork look 3D.  The materials that are usally used in graffiti are spay paint and paint. The spray paint is used to make the artwork and is good for shades. The bad part about the spay paint is that it is hard to keep in between the lines. Paint is used in pretty much the same way as the spray paint but paint can bring in alot more detail to the artwork. In picture 1 the artist has used paint to make the artwork and in picture 2 the artist has used texter and a wet paint. In picture 3 the artist has used paint and has drawn symbols.

Picture 1, 2 and 3 are pictures of graffiti taken by Debra Child and given to me to use. All of the information is from Me. By Luke 8E
