This picture exemplifies my definition of art because, although I'm not the biggest fan of graffiti art, I think that graffiti artists best illustrate the freedom that artists have in forming their art and the freedom for people to have their own opinions about the artworks they see. Art is about freedom. The artist has the freedom to express whatever he or she wants to share through the piece. Viewers have the freedom to have their own unique opinion about the piece and what it means to them specifically. Graffiti is the form of art that best exemplifies both of these freedoms. Graffiti artists paint (traditionally using spray paint) whatever they want, wherever they want. In addition, the general public's reaction to graffiti greatly varies, some people deeply appreciate it, while others pass by, shaking their heads in disappointment and disgust.
