Graffiti

Graffiti is marks, scratchings or drawings made on a surface on a public place. It is often created with paint or spray paint (paint that is sprayed from a can). A single mark could be called a graffito but the word graffiti is usually used, meaning that there is more than 1 mark. Graffiti has been found in very old cities. For example, in the Roman Empire, people wrote messages and drew caricatures on walls. Find out more in https://kids.kiddle.co/Graffiti
