Graffiti: A Form of Communication

Graffiti is a form of art that is created by painting or drawing on a surface, typically using spray paint or markers.

Tags, throw-ups, murals, and stencils are all common types of graffiti.

A tag is a simple, one-line signature, while a throw-up is a more complex, multi-colored piece.

A mural is a large, painted artwork on a wall or other surface.

A stencil is a sheet of material with a design cut out of it.

People create graffiti for a variety of reasons, including to express themselves, to communicate a message, to mark their territory, and to vandalize property.
