Gymnastics Dance

This term we have been looking at gymnastics for our PE. With a buddy or group we created a gymnastics dance. One thing that I thing my group did well was preforming the dance.

 Next time I think we could use something on the ground so we don't have to cut our feet and the ground out.

Is it art or is it Messy ?

W.A.L.T.... Write a persuasive text

while doing this I enjoyed creating my own piece of graffiti but next time I will keep on track and stick with my original opinion .

Is graffiti art or Messy ?

I believe that graffiti is a form of art this is because  graffiti is a bold statement and is for those brave enough to deal with the consequences. Most people are trying to spread a message or trying to make themselves well known. Do you think that they spread a positive message ?

what do you think of when you think “ Graffiti ” ? Well most people think of tags being messy and unnecessary but really they need to have more light shone on them . Did you know that people get paid millions of dollars just to do graffiti on a blank wall : like banksy for example his net worth is estimated to be around $50million just because he did graffiti around the world.  This means that graffiti is a big thing especially when it’s done like banksy he uses stencils to create inspiring messages about things that need to change in the world today . Things like wars , Homeless people , Politics and the environment .

Although people may think that graffiti is messy ; Some people like me think that it’s art .

People like colourful walls and some people don’t those people are the people that clean it up even though there is nothing to clean up because it's unnecessary it would be  a colourful town without  people that clean up. You don’t see people cleaning up the welcome to christchurch sign the one that people go paid to do . To me that’s not right we all have the right to create . although we can create on paper drawing on walls and drawing on houses is much more open and we can share it with more people . We have the right to share with others  . Most of the artthat happens spreads and inspiring message not only banksy’s work . They either write their name or other things that they identify as .  Most people are smart and they do their tagging at night or under supervision so they don’t get caught this means that people actually have to think and be strategic .

The people that take the risk are just trying to make the city more colourful because anything is better than a blank wall especially when people like colour which I think everyone does . There are plenty of blank walls in the city and around everywhere . Most people would think that the cities with blank walls are the more higher power or the richer neighbourhoods because there isn't hood rats or people willing that are stupid enough to do graffiti .  But really everyone gets graffiti no- matter how much money you have graffiti is going to be around in some point of your life. The reason people think that higher powered people don’t get graffiti is because they can clean it up faster or they have high-tech security systems .

Take hornby for example it’s graffiti central so you would think but no actually riccarton has more graffiti than hornby based on a study that the christchurch city council did recently .

This means that although people judge hornby to be a graffiti filled city it’s absolutely not even richer families in riccarton could be the culprit they could be doing the tags that you find messy . the wealthier families that tag and create the tags that make people find graffiti messy merely for satisfaction. This is changing people's opinion when we should all think of it as art , as what it is .

In conclusion art is a bold statement .  That people use all the time to create the image of themselves through words or through an image . Taggers as you would call them create names for themselves by tagging
