Abstract

The researcher approaches the fine art methods of graffiti art as 
an entry to enrich the teaching of contemporary painting. The 
researcher assumes that the multiplicity of experimental media 
and their use in graffiti art enriches the expressive aspects and 
plastic fluidity of the student and researcher. The research also 
aims to identify the methods of graffiti artists to develop 
innovative methods and formulations in teaching, and the 
research aims to identify the motifs and ideas of graffiti art to 
control and benefit from them in a positive and constructive way. 
The importance of the research lies in highlighting graffiti art as 
a contemporary artistic phenomenon and in identifying the 
contemporary motifs and plastic media of graffiti art that enrich 
the creative fluidity of the art of drawing and painting. The 
researcher follows the method of descriptive analysis of the 
selected works of the graffiti artists in order to identify the 
methods of execution, the concepts and the plastic and aesthetic 
foundation.
