What is Graphite?
Graphite is a form of carbon commonly used as the core material in pencils. It can be compressed to various levels of hardness, allowing for different shading effects in drawing. In powdered form, graphite can be applied with a brush for broader, softer applications. Graphite erases easily and was first discovered in the 1500s in England's Lake District.

Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
A term coined to describe artworks that are designed to be destroyed during their creation. Gustav Metzger, who developed this concept, outlined key principles: the artwork must disintegrate within 20 years, be self-completing, and involve public participation.
