Graffiti...revisited

I blogged earlier about graffiti and its uses, but I really like the video we watched in class about it also. I liked the fact that it was bona fide ar that was being displayed. I forget the artists name, but her work was so lifelike, and fitting for its location. I had never really thought of graffiti as serious art, but she really changed my mind on that subject. I used to think that graffiti was mostly done by regular people who had talent, but no real training. She, however, had obvious talent and what seemed like very intensive training in art. Graffiti can be seen in all big cities, and I'm sure that there is plenty of 'legitimate art' graffiti to be found too. I really like her work, and the fact that she chose a different medium to display it.
