INSTRUCTIONS (54-60) READ THE PASSAGE CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
BASED ON WHAT IS STATED OR IMPLIED IN THE PASSGE.

Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to the article “Protecting Our Public Spaces” in issue 14, published this
spring. In it, the author claims that “all graffiti is vandalism, pure and simple, and offers no benefit to our
public spaces.” I would like to point out that many people believe that graffiti is an art form that can
benefit our public spaces just as much as sculpture, fountains, or other, more accepted art forms.

People who object to graffiti usually do so more because of where it is, not what it is. They
argue, as your author does, that posting graffiti in public places constitutes an illegal act of property
damage. But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being
considered genuine art.

I would argue that graffiti is the ultimate public art form. Spray paint is a medium unlike any
other. Through graffiti, the entire world has become a canvas. No one has to pay admission or travel to a
museum to see this kind of art. The artists usually do not receive payment for their efforts. These works
of art dotting the urban landscape are available, free of charge, to everyone who passes by.

To be clear, I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art. Plenty of
graffiti is just vandalism, pure and simple. However, there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its
intricate detail, its realism, or its creativity. It takes great talent to create such involved designs with
spray paint. Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a
paintbrush, or because they cover the side of a building rather than a canvas?

To declare that all graffiti is vandalism, and nothing more, is an overly simplistic statement that I
find out of place in such a thoughtful publication as your magazine. Furthermore, graffiti is not going
anywhere, so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits. One option could be to
make a percentage of public space, such as walls or benches in parks, open to graffiti artists. By doing
this, the public might feel like part owners of these works of art, rather than just the victims of a crime.
Regards,
Derrick Milton
