Questions for thought:

1. What do you think is the difference between graffiti, street art, and muralism?
2. Should graffiti be illegal? What about street art?
3. What kind of preconceptions do you have about graffiti artists? What kind of perceptions does mainstream media have? Why are those preconceptions/perceptions so prevalent? 
4. How does graffiti interact with public space? How is it effective/ineffective?
