4. Art or vandalism?
Graffiti is a word that always accompanied by a destructive, exceeded,
combative character ... see what makes the unlawfulness of graffiti. For
this part we see graffiti as vandalism.
However, we also find an artistic nature, accompanied by a huge skill,
ability, technical, pictorial, if we make good use of it.
With all this we can say that graffiti can be divided into
two parts: legal Graffiti (art) and illegal graffiti (vandalism).
5. There are many different opinions. This sometimes leads
to disputes or at least discussions about how to paint
a writer, legally or illegally. What is clear is that each has its
own way of seeing things and reasons that make you opt for one
or the other.
6. Within the art of graffiti can be seen several styles:
- Sketches (or sketches) - are those made prior to the mural on the
wall, usually fast and with a color scheme.
- Template - becomes a template of a figure in a carton and then
takes that template for the city and painted over (leaving painted only what the
paint)
- Tags (or firms) - is based on making simple signatures on the street in order
to become advertising street.
- Stickers (Stickers) - are the paper over the cities of stickers
by promoting them or their records or their CREW1 identified
under one name.
- Parts that are painted walls of several (very rare for one paint
an entire wall).
- "Palancazo" the act of painting an entire train in the garage.
7. The City of Laredo has initiated the program 'Colors', which
aims to promote the "young people, murals and graffiti as a
tool for living, away from vandalism."
8. Graffiti walls have flooded the streets of Alicante. It is not an isolated
phenomenon in the province because there are hundreds of graffiti
artists, most notably a group known as Actor. While neighborhood
associations have reported damage to the facades, graffiti continue to
be on the crest of the wave being the result of a collective motivated
individual creation. The graffiti that came as a fashion from the hip-
hop culture, has become "a resource of advertising though, on the one
hand, encourages their development but on the other, shows an image
that is essentially correct graffiti, "says Dib one, a member of the group
of graffiti artists.
The graffiti writer perceives the urban environment as a space in
which to perpetuate their image. Your own neighborhood is where the
first signs plasma to "make the street more attractive and show a show to
the public, like a street theater"

15. "Graffiti is not art, are vandalism and freedom
that makes the ends where it begins the person meets the
front of your house painted," said the head of the
Environment of the City, Ana Botella. His department has
spent six million euros to clean graffiti, "not
onlydisfigure the city but also generate an absurd cost paid
by locals with their taxes."
16. The cost of graffiti clean equipment exceeds € 275,000
The cleaning of the city of Alicante has nine teams cleaner
paintings o erase the graffiti, stains and gum from the facades of
houses. This equipment uses water under pressure cold or hot,
depending on the needs of each product to remove. They are
also a layer off lux if necessary by the difficulty
of cleaning certain areas. These teams are roaming the streets of
the city and acting on direct orders of the City. The company
only clean public buildings and the cost of equipment exceeds €
275,000.
17. The City provides a penalty of 90 € for those responsible for
such acts.
The City of Alicante, along with Urban Engineering and the
CSIC (Higher Council for Scientific Research) have developed a
pioneering project in Spain to clean painted landmarks, more
susceptible to the use of traditional methods: cleaner
paintings laser, currently the workers who will perform
this service are receiving the driving course. Since the laser must
be applied to the appropriate wavelength for each Super foot
