Development of Arts Mural

Development of Arts MURAL

OBJECTIVES:

  • Learn about public funding for the Arts.
  • Examine public art’s role in capturing history and place-making.
  • Explore the relationship of cultural values to civic dialogue, beautification and identity.

If you click on the mural above you will see a mural that i made. I decided to Make my own mural and use my skills that i learned last week with making a remix for this weeks assignment. This Development of Arts Mural originally portrayed the growth of art, by putting a big tree in the middle and having different panels starting from the bottom, and how it has evolved at the top.

Panel 1: On the Lower right- i used a cave painting image to represent how art started through Cave Painting,

Panel 2: On the Lower Left Panel, i used a image of a women Weaving to show the growth from cave painting to weaving as well there was pottery and decoration too.

Panel 3: Above Panel 1: i used a image of a scroll paper and a rock to show the growth from cave painting, weaving to Scroll decoration. The rock image to show an architect and builders.

Panel 4: above Panel 2: I used a greek women playing music to represent their own music, drama and dance. Their using their own skills to make music.

Panel 5: which is above panel 3: i used a image of stained glass, saying “songs of faith” portraying how music is moving into churches.

Panel 6: Which is above panel 4: i used a violin, and glass blower to represent a violin maker and a glass blower.

Panel 7: which is above panel 5: i used a image of masks. This panel shows the new additions of masks and performance and how its getting put together.

Panel 8: which is above panel 6: i used a image of a microphone representing the new and modern arts because everything thats modern is shown through radio, or film.

The growth of all the panels from the bottom to the top, shows the development of art. In each panel in the original mural, you see a little bit of everything squeezed into each panel. In a way thats saying that with out the previous ways of art, there wouldnt be anything to make grow or develop. they all grow from each idea making art what it is today.
