The different forms of graffiti

There are many different forms of graffiti, each with its own unique style and purpose. Some of the most common forms of graffiti include:

* Tags: Tags are simple signatures or initials that are often used to mark territory or to identify a particular artist. * Throws: Throws are more elaborate than tags, and they often incorporate multiple colors and designs. * Murals: Murals are large-scale graffiti paintings that often cover entire walls or buildings. They can be very complex and detailed, and they often depict scenes from history, nature, or popular culture. * Stencil graffiti: Stencil graffiti is created using a stencil, which is a piece of cardboard or plastic with a design cut out of it. The stencil is then placed on a wall or other surface, and paint is sprayed through the cut-out design. * 3D graffiti: 3D graffiti is a type of graffiti that creates the illusion of three-dimensionality. It is often created using a combination of paint, tape, and other materials.
