What Is Graffiti? 🖌️

Graffiti is a type of art made on public walls, buildings, or streets. It often includes names, nicknames, pictures, or messages. Artists use spray paint, markers, or paint to make their designs.

Most graffiti includes large, colorful letters, shapes, and symbols. The letters can be curved, jagged, or look like they’re jumping off the wall. It’s loud, expressive, and full of movement.

Even though graffiti is sometimes done without permission, it has become a real form of street art. Today, many cities allow artists to paint graffiti legally on special walls or buildings.

The History of Graffiti 🏙️

Graffiti has a long history. Even in ancient Rome and Egypt, people wrote messages on walls. But modern graffiti started in the 1970s in New York City.

Young people in New York began writing their names or “tags” on trains and subway walls. One of the first well-known artists was a teenager named Taki 183, who wrote his name all over the city. People started to notice, and graffiti spread quickly.

In the 1980s and 1990s, graffiti became part of hip-hop culture, along with breakdancing, rap music, and DJing. It grew into a worldwide art movement, with artists in cities everywhere creating their own styles.
