Yesterday's Q: Is Graffiti art? Why or why not?
Mrs. Hudson: I definitely don't think that putting tags all over your community is art, but I do think that some graffiti is stunning. I have a photo of my children next to some graffiti in Paris that I love because the colours are so vibrant. It is not a picture, but a series of patterns. If you go to Bristol they have a road, where they have decorated boring concrete tower blocks with huge pieces of art, which are surprising and beautiful. Of course there is a Banksy too. So yes I think it is art, but sometimes a subversive one, which can make it more interesting.
Miss Martin: Mrs Hudson, I was going to say the same! In and around Bristol, where I grew up, there are quite spectacular pieces of artwork on some of the older buildings in the city centre, where artists were granted permission to create huge pictures. I do consider it a form of art, but there's a fine line if the purpose of the piece was to deface, damage or vandalise something.
We look forward to hearing your responses! Log in on Wednesday for more wonderful learning! Have a great evening.
