The Splasher and Graffitti

Learning about the "Art of Graffitti" last week opened up another view to me. I never fully considered that these people are trying to get a point across. Usually I see "tags" and think of them as "Gang" related, not ever thinking that they could be political statements or demonstrations of Art.

So I really enjoyed the video that we saw about the Graffitti in South Africa and San Paulo. It's so inspiring that these artistic people use their talent to spread a message to their city.

Watching the movie gave me the perspective of the painter. Something I would never have known.
