Scope and Contents note

Collection of pictures of graffiti and personal narratives of graffiti artists. Neipp first asserts that graffiti is a type of art holding a great deal of folklore. She suggests that graffiti is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps individuals and groups define themselves. Neipp takes look into the subculture of graffiti creators and what drives them to paint on wall instead of canvas. She uses Bascom's four functions of folklore to further explore graffiti as folklore. Created by Andrea Neipp while she was enrolled in Eric Eliason's English 391 class during the fall semester of 2002.
