What comes to your mind when you hear or see graffiti? To many people, comes the idea of vandalism or gangs, but many times it is not; many times it is done in a way for people to express their feelings. For this field trip, we went and visited The Mullet, right around Almeda Mall, where we were able to observe and touch amazing graffiti paintings that caught our eyes. Something else that really called my attention, was knowing that the owner of this amazing place was born, if I'm not mistaken with Autism. Autism is a mental condition, presented in the early childhood, also with this disease you cant communicate that well and forming relationships. We were told that if not all; most of the money went to medical research groups for these types of disorders. It was touching and nice to know that the money goes for something important that will try to help these people someday. This portraits where sold for hundreds of dollars, just to help people with this kind of this order. Who would believe that art like this graffiti would help people get better in life. Like I had said, usually be believe that graffiti people are bad and looking for trouble. But its not true; this a way how people help each other but also express how they feel about life and there surroundings.
