Paper Summary:

This paper examines the art of graffiti. The author focuses on the history and meaning of street graffiti using the work of one well-known graffiti artist to draw from for examples. The work of world renowned graffiti artist, Cool Disco Dan, is examined and explored.

From the Paper:

"If one drives through any inner-city area in the nation one will see graffiti along the walls, subways and sides of buildings. Many people believe that graffiti is little more than gang vandalism, used to tag and mark areas that they believe they "own", but with graffiti's long history and widespread use it represents much more than that. While it is true that some gangs use a tagging process to mark their geography grounds, true graffiti has nothing to do with tagging. Graffiti is an art form and is often referred to as the language of the street."
