countless murals in New Mexico depicting The Long Walk, but there is one in Gallup, New Mexico located on Third and Hill that stands out. Richard K. Yazzie is a local artist that collaborates with the City of Gallup create this painting. Those painting is to recall the torment that Native American have encountered. Furthermore, there are four parts to this painting and each represent the season during the year; spring, summer, fall, and winter. The reason why I chose the last two murals is…

The Great Wall of Los Angeles is one of the longest murals that exists in history. The great wall was built in the year of 1976 with a team of many youths, artists, and historians that collaborated under the direction of very well-known Chicana artist Judith Francisca Baca.

The objective was to…

In the mural "Going to The Olympics" by Frank Romero, he placed many symbols in is mural in a specific place. The symbols hat i saw are the hearts, the iron, the blimp, two guys fighting, a horse, a portrait, palm trees, and also cars.

Also the cars have a certain color in a certain order, they have the colors of the Olympic logo and are in the exact order. In my…

ending and will continue to be a project passed down to the youths and artists of the future. I want to further search and put together the understanding of how Baca’s project is not just any kind of art mural. I have gathered an analysis towards the Great Wall and its major affects from being a mural in the Tujunga flood control channel of Los Angeles; along with the message it portrays to the public and its environment. Born and mostly raised in Los Angeles I have grown to see how much Los…

idea that citizens are ruining aspects of the community that belong to everyone through their lack of care. This could be playgrounds, parks, historical sites, etc. Downtown Hot Springs fully embodies this concept. Downtown Hot Springs is home to murals, The Arlington, and The Promenade. All of which have been subject to mistreatment and neglect. Downtown Hot Springs is a beautiful landmark that is shared with tourists and the people who live here, but the lack of care towards this landmark make…

beautiful murals. The one mural I selected is “The Evolving Face of Nursing” by Meg Saligman. This unique mural is located at the intersection of Broad and Vine streets of Center City. This mural was to celebrate and bring attention to the nursing communities, plus, change the way the public looks at public art and nursing professionals. “The Evolving Faces of Nursing” replaced another mural that was once there, it was called “A Tribute to Nursing” (Evolving Faces of Nursing, 2010). The new…

simple shapes and vibrant colors to represent realist subjects, and the application of paint to walls to create textured frescoes.

So basically,…
