The above video is taken from a graffiti documentary entitled ‘Getting Up.’ Although somewhat ’stylised’ and stitched with lets say ‘cinematic license’ it does introduce some key concepts within the art and the culture. To watch the remaining parts, click here.
Graffiti
Graffiti is a commonly misunderstood form of illegal art. Graffiti is done on walls, buses, trains, and other forms of private and public property, often without permission (thus the ‘illegal’ part). Ink, paint, scratches, and other ways can be used to do graffiti; spray paint cans with special tips being the favored way, since they are easily carried and do not require brushes and other equipment. Note that not all things sprayed/written on a wall are graffiti! Contrary to popular belief, Graff is NOT any of the following: writing on houses of worship, people’s houses in general, other writer’s names, or tombstones. The aforementioned need not be identified with bus, train, subway, and wall burners.
