Introduction
The art of graffiti has become very popular in our town for the last decades. Although it is considered
to be the kind of street art the government of our town pays a great attention to its development,
especially because in the year of Olympic Games in Sochi ( 2014 ) the graffiti artists are those who are
expected to decorate our native town and prepare it to this enormous event.
The aim of our project is to detect which graffiti style dominates in order to develop less popular
styles.
According to the aim we put forward the following problems of the research:
•To study the history of graffiti;
•To define why Graffiti is considered to be antisocial Kind of Street Art;
•To study and analysis the existing styles of graffiti;
•To present the results of estimation of the poll on the topic;
•To make the comparative analysis of graffiti art styles in Sochi.
The results of the project can be used in the spheres of sport activities and outdoor games in schools,
art schools and by those who join art groups, theatrical groups or drama groups. The materials of the
project are also a good addition to the lessons including history of art, countries, history of society.
Styles of Graffiti.
Tagging. Namely from this type you
may begin counting-out the history of
graffiti, although in present time tagging
is only its application. Tag-writer’s
signature, his nickname, which he
makes it by one colour. It is inevitable
part of graffiti; tag is overlooked
obligatory under all works.
Throw up. The simplest style,
preferred by bombers, for which
priority in work is not quality, but
velocity of the execution. Often it is
also practiced by the beginners. It
arose in New-York. This style
presents itself curves of the lines of
the letters, painted inwardly
determined by colour. The first
colour-sidebar, the second-potting:
in throw up there are used whole 2
colours, mainly, black and white, or
black and silvery. The main
condition here-construction of the
coloures and their combinality with
each other.

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples going back
to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. Graffiti can be anything
from simple scratch marks to elaborate wall paintings. In modern
times, spray paint and markers have become the most commonly
used materials. In most countries, defacing property with graffiti
without the property owner's consent is considered vandalism,
which is punishable by law. Sometimes graffiti is employed to
communicate social and political messages. To some, it is an art
form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions, to others it is
merely vandalism. There are many different types and styles of
graffiti and it is a rapidly evolving art form whose value is highly
contested, being reviled by many authorities while also subject to
protection, sometimes within the same jurisdiction.
