The Delhi Mural

During the months of May and June the Delaware Academy high school art students learned how to paint a landscape with acrylic paint on canvas board with muralist and artist Joanna Murphy. The students learned to make connections between their personal experiences and landscapes. The student's paintings describe an outdoor space that meant something to them and how artist visually evoke the feeling of a place. The students learned about the elements of art; color, line, shape, size, direction, value and texture which are the building blocks used to create all work of art.
In addition to our classroom project several high school students will help paint the mural.
I would like to thank Brian Rolfe the Delaware Academy art

    Los Angeles is a well-known city; several murals are painted throughout the freeways. What's better than art, to be able to get distracted while being stuck in traffic? Los Angeles residents have taken much love and passion for their automobiles, especially with all the freeways it has. Many murals either had to be restored or taken down, many muralists were angry that the city didn't "take care" of the murals as much as they should've. Murals have a historical meaning behind it, for example, Frank Romero's mural "Going to the Olympics" in the Hollywood freeway.…

    A cohesive understanding of the relationship between people and landscapes encourages the appreciation of both the protagonists and composers experience of life. An individual’s significance of a landscape may be inspired through evoking personal memories, or generated in removing restrictive boundaries. However, whilst these experiences prove diverse, there are often representations of archetypal figures that relate to all, thus shaping the relationship between people and landscape as similar and thus relatable. Both ‘Brooklyn’ by Colm Toibin and ‘My Place’ by Sally Morgan represent the notion of a how a landscape can impact an individual and their experiences, with both composers richly proving and contrasting such connections throughout.…

    In Margaret Atwood’s short story, “Death by Landscape,” the reader dives into the world of Lois, a widowed mother troubled by the death of her childhood friend, Lucy. Lois’ time at Camp Manitou with Lucy appeared to be a defining factor in her life, consuming the majority of her present days, if not all of them. Even though Lucy disappeared without a trace – never seen or heard from again – Lois still clung on to the memories they once had, particularly through a series of paintings she purchased over her lifetime. Although the paintings she possessed were not of Lucy and had no obvious or immediate relation to her, the landscapes and scenery were all that she needed in order to keep the memory of Lucy alive. One of the many wonderful things about art is that it has no single definition…

    “For very young children, making art -- or just talking about it- provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes, and actions” (Lynch). It is vital for a child to learn the importance of art early in their life so that they can choose whether or not they will be dedicated to pursue a career involving art skills. Learning about these basic forms of art at an early age gives children more insight in preparation for their educational life. “Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development” (Lynch).
