“ Is graffiti an expression of art or just another form of vandalism”?

 In this topic, we plan to explore the very controversial idea of graffiti, and whether it seen as an artist portraying a message through the expression of art or just seen as vandalism of the streets in London today.

We will look at both, for positive arguments of graffiti and the negative argument as well. And look at both perspectives of the too sides.

A source shows that it’s a common view that graffiti is frowned upon in society. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/club/your_reports/newsid_1637000/1637333.stm)

“Graffiti is disgusting and gets people into bad habits, wherever people find a blank space they scribble all over it.”

Although there are many schemes and project that have been set up to remove graffiti. People still show hostility towards it.

Project’s like ‘orange rock corps’ have been set up to remove graffiti, and because it nation wide it covers a wide regional area and these projects have been strongly backed by the government.

In order to finding conclusion to the debate that is graffiti, we will be interviewing people that support graffiti and people that don’t mind it, as well as people who are strongly against graffiti. We also believe that there no better way to see how the artist themselves feel about it so will we also interviewing them and finding there perspectives on what they do. We also intend to interview some public figures to show what they feel about the graffiti. Additionally, we will speak to other general members of the public that hold their own and find out whether they feel the media influences these ideas.

We plan to have cut-always of piece of art that have been produced as well as people doing graffiti. As well as these we plan to show the length that people go through just to “get up” (graffiti) photo’s of black books (Were people design there pieces of work before they put paint to wall)

For a list of speakers I would like to interview 2 graffiti artist’s (one that’s big, and a up and coming one). I would also like to interview people that work on the projects at orange rock corps. As well interviewing companies that remove graffiti them selves and some people that are the general public.

For this our group roles are:

Philip – editor

Lauren - director                       

Sustika – sound

Anju – Camerawoman
