Is graffiti art?

If someone were to ask me if I think graffiti I would tell them yes. If you ask any artist they will tell you that art expresses their feelings and come from the creativity of their mind and thus being that graffiti is expression through spray paint on walls it should and by me is considered to be art. Although there is a wide aurety of opinions about whether or not graffiti is art many of the people who disagree argue about the people who do graffiti and where it’s done. To further elaborate upon this art has its time and place just like painter has his canvases to paint a graffiti artist should respect other people’s property and find places where people who appreciate the art can recognize the work of the artist just like famous painters art are located in museums.  This is how I feel about graffiti being an art.
