Graffiti
Graffiti (singular ''graffiti'', or ''graffito'' only in graffiti archeology) is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view. Graffiti ranges from simple written "monikers" to elaborate wall paintings, and has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire. Modern graffiti is a controversial subject. In most countries, marking or painting property without permission is considered vandalism. Modern graffiti began in the New York City subway system and Philadelphia in the early 1970s and later spread to the rest of the United States and throughout the world. Etymology "Graffiti" (usually both singular and plural) and the rare singular form "graffito" are from the Italian word ''graffiato'' ("scratched"). In ancient times graffiti were carved on walls with a sharp object, although sometimes chalk or coal were used. The word originates from Greek —''gr ...

Piece (graffiti)
Pieces, short for "masterpieces", are a form of graffiti that involves large, elaborate and detailed letter forms. They are one of the main forms of modern graffiti, along with Tag (graffiti), tags and Throw up (graffiti), throw ups, and are the least controversial of the three and least likely to be seen as vandalism. Due to their size, pieces are almost always done in Aerosol paint, aerosol spray paint, but graffiti artists may use paint rollers for large areas that require filling in with paint. Form Pieces tend to be large, with multi-coloured fills and outlines. They often incorporate highlights, shadows, and a background, and may use extensions on letter forms, 3D effects, and sometimes characters. Because of their complexity and large size, pieces usually take a significant amount of time to plan and paint and therefore are often found on legal walls. Illegal pieces tend to be found in less crowded spaces such as train yards, tunnels, drains, rooftops, and walls facing ...
