Banksy

I like Bansky's pieces because I feel like they actually mean something. They are about important issues we have in our society today. In all of his pieces he is trying to get people's attention on a certain issue that occurs in our society. By doing it as grafitti he gets the attention he wants. I especially like the one of the dove in an army jacket that is targeted. The whole piece is ironic because the dove is supposed to represent peace, but it is fighting in a war, which is basically what we do. When a country is in war they claim that they are trying to create peace. Its just weird to me that that is how people try to get peace.
I believe that graffiti is definitely art. I would never be able to draw or do any of the things they do because I am not an artist at all. I don't think they should do it on public property, but it is art. Artists probably use other names because they don't want others to know who did it, especially graffiti. If they want to let people know who did it they can on their own. Its up to the person though if they wnt to make it public or not.
