I agree Mrs F, Graffity is a digrase to our national heratige as well as our Arcitechure. I am seeing tagging everywhere espesially the public toilets as well as Countdown and the United Vidieo store and on the sides of the containers on the trains. Most of the tagging is positivly ugly and it makes the buildings look even uglier. GRAFFITY MUST BE STOPPED!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have seen tagging on trains, trees, slides and on gates ect.And we also know that tagging is simular to graffti but graffti has more artistic to it.
ReplyDeleteWe agree with you Daniel, and we hope it stops soon before it gets really out of hand.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bonnie and Jade that tagging is simular as Grafiti but graffiti is more of an art
ReplyDeleteThat’s absolutely appalling it makes nz look untidy. We need to stop this crime. Its discrasfull to see how many types of places can get tagged. (Tagging it’s not our future)
ReplyDeleteSome really cool photo's but where did you take them?
ReplyDeleteI agree with daniel but what is tagging what dose it mean?
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina. The photos were taken on a walk down by the Hamilton River. I took my camera not sure what I would find!
ReplyDeleteWell Thomas it sometimes means that they are angry or upset.
ReplyDeleteI see graffity all around town. I think it ruins the looks of the town. It should stop now.
ReplyDeleteThomas i think tagging is a type of art & vandalism if its on some ones fence its vandalism and if its on a piece of paper its art.
ReplyDeleteThere is some really cool interesting photo's on there, I didn't realise there was so much tagging in Hamilton I thought it was cleaner than that.
ReplyDeleteWell Thomas tagging is when you put a mark or signature on something to mark a place as your own.
ReplyDeleteThe photos show that tagging can be anywhere even on seats and on trees. It has to be stopped. It doesn’t look nice.
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of tagging but insted of vandalising they could try doing some better art like an artist
ReplyDeleteWe partially agree with you Bonnie and Jade but we think there is a lot more to it like it can be a signature or them marking their area. (Tagging it’s not our future)
ReplyDeleteAntonia your right tagging can be anywhere. On cars, windows, buses, inside houses, walls, buildings even fences it’s not right and should stop now?
ReplyDeleteSome of the DeClairers are investigating the tagging that is going on at the local skate park. Before our recent inquiry, they thought it was a form of art like graffiti. Now they are seeing tagging on the graffiti art at the park and are getting angry! You have a great site here! I will be sharing your x-country recount tomorrow morning with the class - we are doing ours tomorrow afternoon! Will be back in touch - Mrs Bee
ReplyDeleteWhen I was coming home from school (in car) I saw 14 marks of tagging/graffiti mostly on shop fronts or walls, alot of tagging is also on playgrounds etc., but can be virtually anywhere when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteIt is just a bit sad that this could become a form of art if people didn't do it on others property, because some graffiti/tagging is quite artistic.
