graffiti

Graffiti can be damaging art or interesting art. In Ann Arbor there's graffiti that's more pleasing to the eye or disregarded, I have never seen anything that's cruel or painful to look at (from what I have seen here). There are political things like "make love not war", or things about feminism, or the symbol for Anarchy because there's kids who think it's cool to do that. I don't really want to repost all the walls i took pictures of, but if you look below at my older posts you can see what I'm talking about.
In Ann Arbor as a senior prank someone graffitied the front entrance. I went to Pioneer and the school colors were purple and white. The entrance doors have a large sign that says " Purple Pride", and someone thought it would be funny to write "gay" over the "purple". To write something like that in such a liberal town was pretty offensive and I remember a lot of students, especially the senior class, didn't find it funny. Also growing up in Jersey, the town next door to mine had a large population of Armenians and I remember seeing really disturbing graffiti on the backs of dumpsters near apartment complexes.
