It depends on the graffiti. Most tags and profanity is just too boring. Something by Banksey is street art that hits you between the eyes.

The difference between urban art and graffiti is that urban artists have permission from the owner of the object they are painting on this is legal. Graffiti is illegal because the person doing it does not have permission from the owner.
graffiti takes its name from Latin *graphīre to write . There are so many forms of it that just saying it is all graffiti is almost the same as saying any form of music is just noise. Is graffiti art? i would argue that by its definition it is. As far as saying one is breaking the law and the other is artwork , i believe that falls upon local laws not in the name itself. All forms of graffiti are forms of expression and that is by definition art . so your answer is no there is no difference between graffiti and graffiti art
In the cities there are areas that are urban.. teenagers raised with the idea to express themselves and street art is one of them! However some people may say that it is not art but it is graffiti.
You go to art school of study the other art that people do because those people are talented.
Graffiti is a way of expression. Graffiti is street art made by someone that usually has an Alias fo graffiti and the writer pictures what he wants to express on walls. Prehistoric cave art were pictures of huntings and actions of mankind. Graffiti is much more creative and includes someones personal view of the world, is the key to find respect in people that ignore what people are able to do and create. Not all is fame, is for the satisfaction of the hard work when you see its finished.
Graffiti is only vandalism when it is created without commission on private property or in public places where it is not a protected art form. Many cities have laws that protect graffiti in certain places, like Venice Beach and 5Pointz in Queens. Graffiti art itself is not vandalism and is not illegal. There have been several well-known gallery shows featuring graffiti around the world, design houses like Elite Gudz that expand on art form to include fine art and comics, and books that showcase and analyze public street art, and books like The Faith of Graffiti that focus on pieces and graffiti art theory.
Graffiti is Italian. In 1851 it was used to describe scribbling on the walls of the Pompeii ruins. Now it is more commonly used to describe any type of street art.
