Graffiti!

In my opinion graffiti is a beautiful way of expressing oneself. It is is not only a way of decorating old walls, of showing your designs, but it's also a way of saying what you think, of showing your ideals and showing these things that you can't say with words. For many people it is a form of life!
Some graffiti is considered 'vandalism ', as the graffiti in the trains, the 'signatures' ('tags') on the doors and blinds; besides, some ways of painting graffiti are also dangerous for the 'graffiti artist', like the ' gettin up ':

In this video you can see what the 'getting up' is.

I don't paint graffiti, but in Porriño there is a great tradition 'graffitera'!This is graffiti that I photographed in Porriño in summer!


And this is the link of the official web page of my favourite ' graffiti artist ', Banksy! He is a real artist:

The page changes from time to time, as he does more works.


I hope that you like it!

DECORATE OUR BODY


I think that decorating our body is fantastic! It is a nice way of being different from the others, it is like a 'sign' of our identity. Some ways of decorating our body are not accepted by the rest of the society, as the rastas, that are associated with the lack of hygiene(dirty people), or the big tattooes, that are associated with 'freak' people.But in my opinion, each one is the owner of his/her body and can do with it what he/she wants if heshe is going to feel better with his/her body.
The well known forms of decorating our body are piercings, tattooes, modern clothes or complements and makeup.But a less known form and my favorite is bodypaint: with a naked body(nude), a bit of paint, a showy hair and an original idea real works of art can be done!

Hi Elvira!!

In my opinion the graffiti are works of art, I really admire the people who paints them.
I am in favour of the graffiti,as long as they are not offensive.
