Is graffiti art or vandalism

this week the senior school have been doing speeches this my speech that I presented at the finals.

Is Graffiti art or vandalism

Hi I'm Lorenzo I'm am going to be presenting you with a speech about graffiti in my opinion graffiti is vandalism. then I learned graffiti can be an art.

The dictionary says graffiti is writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. Graffiti is vandalism because it is sometimes disturbing for example you might see one with lots of swearing and disturbing things . Graffiti is also vandalism because you are just spraying on public walls did you know that graffiti removal cost . You wouldn't like to be caught doing graffiti. Also graffiti is a mess in south auckland there is graffiti everywhere even at a kids park even just going on a peaceful bike ride basically everywhere you go there is graffiti in south auckland. I’ve  experienced lots of graffiti in south auckland like at the onehunga dog park or at the pack’n’n’save in the mangere town centre.

I think graffiti can be an art like you might ask for a big wall painted with graffiti just like at Massey high. Graffiti is an art because you might want graffiti as a logo for example a tattoo parlour. You should search up banksy he is the most famous street artist in the world he is funny and he writes secret messages in  his graffiti art. Another famous street artist is a kiwi his name is graham Hoete is a street artist from the Bay of Plenty who specialises in realistic street arts believe it or not he is kiwi.

This concludes my speech. What do you think is graffiti art or a mess or both? Whatever you think you aren't wrong because it is your opinion I think it's both. Bye hope you enjoyed my speech.

Science day

Thursday 2nd August 2018

Dear Shanahon,

Thank You for coming to our class and showing us all about pH in science.

I especially loved the pH testing because it was cool with all the colors and the taste testing because there were yum stuff.

One thing I learnt was the pH scale and that body wash was a base/alkali and our skin is acid.

One thing I found challenging was the taste testing because there was yucky stuff for example body wash and apple cider vinegar.

We are really excited to have you in our class every week we can't wait at all.

Sincerely Lorenzo This Letter was about Kierans mum coming to school and teaching us some science it was fun.
