Let’s consider these viewpoints. One should not forget that graffiti is any image or caption on the wall and on another surface.
From this point of view, any inscription on the fence, even an obscene expression or a picture is graffiti. And in this context I agree with those people, who consider it is vandalism. As far as I know, many people are unhappy and angry from this activity, because many of such “artists” noise and violate public order. I will say that it isn’t graffiti, but it is petty hooliganism. And it gets clear for me – why that graffiti is banned.
But on the other hand, I admire and get real pleasure from many magnificent creations of real professionals in their field of street art. Moreover, I was lucky to live in the same city with a very talented artist – Sergey Rusak. He makes perfect graffiti paints on the some town and city walls. I have sent you some his works. They are from Lida, Vitebsk, Minsk.
It is in Lida.
This creativity is about the founder of my town - Prince Gediminas.
Next picture shows us a(один из множества фрагментов) fragment of the picture of the Italian Sandro Botticelli "Birth of Venus". It is in Lida too.
This man with a cat on his head is on Vitebsk.
Next works are of Brazil artists in Minsk. They appeared there thanks to the festival of urban art Vulica Brazil in our capital.
Tinho, its author, portrays children as a symbol of purity in the chaos of urban life. His works are related with human experience in the modern world, especially in the city, where people lose themselves as a person.
“The yellow giant”, its authors - OSGEMEOS (Sao Paulo, Brazil )
The artist painted the first little man in Athens, then in other world capitals.
Following works are of Belarusian authors.
Mutus, its author, shows us how a person goes up, leaving behind the stuff that he has accumulated for the life: cars, money, phones, dishes. In the end, he stays with himself.
«The third barn owl», author Ales Kontra
The third, because Ales believes that there are only two left in Belarusian nature. And he saves them so.
Fortunately, I like such creativity, respect and appreciate highly skilled craftsmen. And I think it is more interesting and useful to see such pictures with often important philosophical thoughts instead of (всегда после будет of) gray scratch walls.
To sum up I’d like to say: no wonder, that this art has lived in our time since 30 millennia BC. Each of us is special and has the right of self-expression: someone has learned to do it in such a beautiful way, and someone in music, sport and any other ways.
Thank you !

Олег Владимирович учил меня всего два года и практически с нуля мой английский вырос до того уровня, о котором я и мечтать не мог. Однако я хочу сказать спасибо не только за это, но и за то, что каждый раз, что я приходил, давал мне не только знания, но и огромный заряд энергии и позитива. Эти два года нельзя описать одним лишь комментарием, но я могу сказать точно, что за это время я приобрел куда больше, чем просто высокий уровень владения английского языка!
P.S. Огромное, действительно огромное спасибо, надеюсь я когда-нибудь смогу снова прийти к вам с ручкой и тетрадкой, в очередной раз не успев написать сочинение :).
