The term graffiti comes from the Greek word ‘graphein’ which means ‘to write’. People have always drawn and
painted on walls. Prehistoric man painted on the walls of caves, and those paintings are now considered valuable works of
art. Graffiti was first found on ancient Roman architecture.
If people draw on walls these days, it isn’t considered art; it is called ‘graffiti’ and often cleaned off as soon as
possible. Graffiti art takes a number of forms. It can be an individual mark, usually just the initials of the artist, or
something much larger, like a mural. Most graffiti artists prefer to be called ‘writers’. A writer’s signature with spray
paint or maker is called a ‘tag’, and each piece of graffiti art is ‘tagged’. Communities of writers who are friends are
known as ‘crews’, and inexperienced writers are called ‘toys’.
For some artists graffiti is a reaction to the circumstances of their lives, while for others it is a more thought-out
artistic expression. The motivation behind a piece of graffiti can be happiness or sadness, frustration or relief. For this
reason it is an art form that is very close to the hearts of the young.
Graffiti as a young culture began in America but has become popular in many other countries. Its influences come
from pop culture, especially music and cartoons. Graffiti is now so popular; it can be seen in many museums and art
galleries.
