Before I read the reading, I had no idea that graffiti had a different style and it had such a long history behind it. It seems like that Charles “CHAZ” Bojorquez is very supportive of the idea that graffiti is a weapon to express the artists’ soul. I agree with him because graffiti seems so unlimited in some way that everybody could do them. Since art itself for me is such a vague word, I am not sure to define what is art or not. It seems that everything that we create could be an art in some sort therefore graffiti is art for me too. However, thinking of graffiti, this came up in my mind. Could some of the graffities that are drawn on traffic signs also be considered as art? I am not sure of that actually. This might be the one that expresses the soul of the person but in terms of breaking the laws it might be not, I guess?
Anyway, it was great that I was able to make it to the field trip this time to see the great Wall of Los Angeles. Considering the long journey of painting the mural, it felt almost unreal for me. It was also surprising that they were continually fixing the mural.
