After much consideration, I feel like graffiti can be seen as art therapy; however, it would need to be under certain circumstances.
Graffiti has a negative connotation and meaning from a sociological point of view. When most people see graffiti, they think that the community is poor and that it is a sign of gang activity and it is unfortunately these misconceptions that lead to these types of stereotypes. Most of the time, these people are wrong in their assumptions and graffiti is more of a way of expressing. I feel as though if communities had a designated area for graffiti, then it would be much more beneficial and accepted by the community. Graffiti is a form of expression and can be considered art therapy because the artist is expressing their feelings through the art that ends up on the wall (or building). A story is being told and some communities have even used this form of art as a means of expressing political points of views.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
