Graffiti workshops “Graffiti is art and not vandalism”

Graffiti art as a field of art that originated 50 years ago in the United States has gone through a thorny path from a subcultural phenomenon, often related to vandalism, to the generally accepted Street Art that grew out of Graffiti art culture in the early 2000s. In order to explain to the youngest ones the problems around drawing in unacceptable places and the difference between art and vandalism.

In Plitvice Holiday Resort we held 12 Graffiti workshops: “Graffiti is an art and not vandalism” through which we explained in a different way the problems of drawing in unacceptable places and the difference between art and vandalism.

In the first, theoretical part, we learned about the history of graffiti art, get acquainted with the first sketches, and prepared for the drawing of the first graffiti.
