 "Vandals or Visionaries? The Ethical Criticism of Street Art"
Mary Beth Willard - Weber State University

  • In my opinion, the article made some very valid points on the critique of street art. I personally believe that street art is a pleasant addition to a city. We see results of this in Philly where you can't travel a city block without seeing a mural painted on the side of a high rise building. I also believe that graffiti done on property in some cases has the same effect. Graffiti is expressive of the people who actually live in that location, so works of art expressing emotion are super valid. The author also helped to point out the fact that uselessly vandalizing property with less artistic graffiti is not okay.

Why did you choose to collect what you did?      Earlier today, I took a picture looking out of my dorm room window with all of my plants and things in it, which inspired me to chose the color green as an overall parameter. The other elements like the crystals and the moth came after choosing the plants.
