Is Graffiti Vandalism Or Art? By: Yesenia Saldana

When I go to Fresno. I always see graffiti on the trains and it says stuff like gangster related things that the train has are like peoples names, and words that are together that I cant understand. The train has beautiful colors but horrible writing. The colors that the train has are like purple ,red, blue, black, yellow ,and orange.

Therefore, I think graffiti is vandalism, one reason why its vandalism because if people write on peoples properties that is called vandalism. If people write on a business it is causing the buisness to look like  a bad business because of all the writing on the walls.

In addition, graffiti is vandalism because most people that do graffiti do it on people’s properties. Some people might get mad because the graffiti is on their property. People might get mad because it may cost a lot of money to take the graffiti off of their property.

Many people may say, that graffiti is art for example it’s beautiful because it has 3-D lines and its colorful with dark and bright colors . I agree but some art is gang related. For example when you pass by Fresno in their trains they are full of graffiti.

I Recommend that you go visit the trains in Fresno because they have a lot of graffiti on the trains. When you go to Fresno and see the trains you will see what im talking about because the trains have a lot of graffiti. It is important that you recognize that graffiti is growing bigger and its taking up private properties.
