graffiti

I found the article to have many interesting points of similarity to what I have been comprehending and approaching in my craft. When the author describes the confrontation and understanding of graffiti as an art form, this rang true with me as an actor. Understanding and becoming vulnerable enough to open up and to just listen to that call. Another aspect of this article that spoke to me was how honest and passionate the author is. It is clear and evident in the language of the text of how much passionate the author has for his art. From his own personal history to the history of graffiti.

As for the actual subject of graffiti, I didn’t have any previous knowledge of it until this reading. It is interesting to hear the detail between the “cholos” style and the style in New York. One of my favorite lines is. “We all have the same mother, rebellion. Just a different father, style.” I feel that that line can be used to describe any form of art. It is that line between the art and the artist.
