In modem society this dilemma of defining and drawing a fine line to the different spectacles of art has caused a never ending discussion on graffiti, whether it is considered art or vandalism. Graffiti has become ubiquitous. The position society has taken on this growing art form, graffiti, has been mixed and controversial. Though graffiti has been in existence for a long time now, it is evolving to an art form in which very few artists get recognized. Graffiti artists have noted that graffiti art originates from tagging, a form of scribbling names that looks like chicken scratches on public and private property.
Every graffiti artist goes through the phase of tagging to graffiti art.
Society should note that it takes time to develop artistic ability. In the business world this is called moving up the career ladder. You start from the bottom and as your experience builds up you start moving up the ladder. This philosophy can be associated with taggers as well. Taggers need to get experience and build up their talent before moving up the ladder to become graffiti artists and eventually to artists who can be recognized worldwide.
