Graffiti in School

On a recent trip to Cedar Lake I came to realize that I have high standards for graffiti both in content and artistic representation.   Most of what I see in Gary is involved, detailed and actually artistic to some level, even when it is just tagging.   Of course, there are exceptions to this.

 

But even when you can’t read it you can appreciate the level of effort someone put into it.

 

There was only one small section of hallway where lockers remained, and this was the area that got hit by taggers the most.

 

Some decided that the stairwells offered the best canvas for their work.

 

Still others made a patriotic display.

 

In other places it gave a even more surreal feel to an already odd situation.
