For this article, we are posing the following discussion question:

Are the artistic aspects of graffiti enough to legitimize it as a medium or does the illegal properties outweigh its value?

Later in our discussion, we would lead into another question we have of:

“Would political legalization of graffiti as an accepted art form change the current difference in distribution of art between graffiti artist and regular artists?”

Looking forward to feedback!
