Graffiti art takes a number of forms.
It can be an individual mark, usually just the initials of the artist, or something much larger, like a mural.
Most graffiti artists prefer to be called ‘writers’. A writer’s signature with spray paint or maker is called a ‘tag’, and each piece of graiti art is ‘tagged’.
Communities of writers who are friends are known as ‘crews’, and inexperienced writers are called ‘toys’.
For some artists graiti is a reaction to the circumstances of their lives, while for others it is a more thought-out artistic expression.
The motivation behind a piece of graffiti can be happiness or sadness, frustration or relief.

Graffiti as a youth culture began in America but has become popular in many other countries.
