Grafite: comunicando a vida em cores e formas

Abstract

Communication is one of the means that human beings use to say what they think, what they feel, what they want. To communicate, man has developed strategies such as drawings, writing, symbols and this, with technology, has been increasingly improved. Thus, the general objective of this work is to analyze the visual and communicative impact that graffiti art has on the individual in Brazilian society. The theoretical reference included discussions about an analysis, history and the origin of graffiti in various societies; differentiate the terms of graffiti and graffiti in a theoretical perspective; identify the positive and negative effects of artistic expressions in urban places. The methodological procedures adopted consisted of a qualitative methodology, of an exploratory nature, as bibliographic research was carried out in articles, journals and websites that deal with the subject. The technique used was a semi-structured interview, with a script of questions to interview the graffiti artist and rap artist, known in Caruaru as Nino do Rap. The data obtained indicate that graffiti artists, in Caruaru and region, need greater support so that the dissemination and dissemination of their work take the space of prejudice while gaining space on the walls of the suburbs and urban areas of cities. As there is no depletion of knowledge, this work intends to contribute so that others feel challenged and impelled to seek to investigate more about the issues that involve visual communication through graffiti art.
