5. Graffiti Can Brighten Up Sidewalks.

Have you ever watched kids happily drawing outside with sidewalk chalk? Chances are that you wouldn't look at that and think that's graffiti. But the truth is that drawing on the sidewalk is a form of graffiti. If you open up your browser and search for something like "sidewalk art," you're going to find a lot of

amazing pictures. Of course, you might find some beginner pictures drawn by kids who just got their first sidewalk chalk. But then again you might see some 3D type art that will make you think you're either going to fall into a deep hole or that something is leaping out at you. OK, so you won't be able to jump right into the chalk picture just like children did in a well-known Disney movie, but they're amazing nonetheless. Do you really want to have your mind blown? Go to a sidewalk art festival. Chances are that you are never going to look at sidewalk chalk the same way. The incredible talent of those who showcase their art during these festivals is truly incredible. As you can see, graffiti can do a lot of good in the world. Just like anything else, graffiti can be used for both good and bad. When you use it for good, you may just be able to change the world.
