If it is art or graffiti, may only be determined in where it is put. →

Does our perception of art communicate reality or just what we think the truth is? Are our emotions telling us what we see, or are they being told what to feel by what we see?

We express ourselves with the tools we have, and words, feelings, and eyes serve us well in that regard, but do our emotions and feelings convey accurate perceptions.

Art can be in various forms, shapes, colors, and textures, but the meaning will differ depending on what the viewer knows. Can the importance of art be the same for two people?

If the meaning isn’t clear or weak, the images may lack the needed complexity. Graffiti qualifies as art, but some disagree, and some feel it is only a cynical attempt at art, saying, “If art were a positive agent of change, the graffiti, being everywhere, would have made a better society for all. Of us.”

Isn’t the question really what is better, not what is art? Graffiti, a form of visual communication, usually illegal, involves an individual or group's unauthorized marking of public space.
