Research (Graffiti-Draft)

"Graffiti is any type of public marking that may appear in the form of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti are from the italian word graffiato which means scratched in italian".- wikipedia

More than half of the population in Britain thinks graffiti as a vandalism rather than art.
Let's look at the Britain's most popular graffiti artist Banksy. He's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene. He is also best known for political activist artist whose work is somehow connected with the political, social and economic issues.

Bristol city museum and art gallery was also closed because the museum kept the secret from top council officials about doing a exibition of Banksy's art works. Though the 49% of people out of 100 finds him interesting and inspiring where as 51% of the peoples are still against his work and they think Banksy is encouraging the youth to do more vandalism. But the more we ask this question to the people the more answer we get from different perspective.

After doing this research some question occured in my mind like
Will people stop making graffiti if they get right to show their work in the art galleries like other artist?
The answer could be Yes or may be No.
