Question

Even those who feel graffiti is an art form have a hard time making the same argument for tagging. Why is tagging a different problem than graffiti?


A. Tagging does not follow the elements of design.


B. Tagging escalates very quickly and is often not really about art.


C. Tagging is an art form that requires more discipline than graffiti.


D. Tagging is more common in rural areas, which often object to public art.

Answer 1

B. Tagging escalates very quickly and is often not really about art.

Tagging is often associated with vandalism, gang activity, and spread of negative messages rather than being seen as a form of artistic expression. It lacks the thoughtfulness and intention behind traditional graffiti art.
