NarrativeEvery day as I drive by Chicago I find

myself looking at new graffiti that I havenever seen before. These artist seem to

have a story behind it. However, Chicago,

as well as every other city in the world,has very unique graffiti. Graffiti can be

categorized into many groupsart graffiti,message graffiti, crime graffiti, and gang

graffiti. People use graffiti as a form to

express themselves in buildings, trains,

paper, and even walls.

AnalysisMy overall goal was to try and

convince my audience that graffitiart is not a crime. I understand that

many people think graffiti is a crime

because most graffiti artist are

destroying their property. Lookingthrough my photo essay I feel that

my photos would stand alonebecause I think you could tell what

kind of graffiti they are.
