The Research Paper about Graffiti

                    ("Taki 183", 1971 in NewYork)
 There are some terms that necessary to know if you are interesting at Graffiti. Firstly ‘Tag’ is the most common type of Graffiti that only a few seconds to put. ; You can imagine that brief scribbling of nicknames or coded identities on walls. Secondly, ‘Throw-Ups’ means that tags in a two-dimensional format. Thirdly, ‘Pieces’ is that mixture of word and drawings that sometimes it will be concerned as masterpieces. Next terms are names for taggers as following their rank. Taggers, who only can perform ‘Tag’ or ‘Throw-Ups’, they will be called as ‘Scribblers’ or ‘Toys’. However, it they produce large pieces as ‘Pieces’, they can earn the title of ‘Writer’ that every Graffiti tagger wants to be.
-Here is a question that I want to ask you guys to answer!

Q. Have you ever scribbled something on walls? Why or Why not?

(ps. the picture shows that the first 'Tag' in NewYork city in 1971, called 'Taki 183' which brought a huge boom of tagging in NewYork.)
