Mural

repertoire that no other fifth graders could say they had. I built and etched a traditional birch bark canoe, constructed a log barn without power tools, repaired a wampanoag, threaded snowshoes, ran the sales department of a chicken business, painted murals, wadded through a cold pond for a night of frogging, and ended up in more ponds than I really would have liked. With this experience as my motivation and guide, I learned to incorporate a successful education with this learning as an…

identity and association and this kind of ideology should have appeared in the article. The article makes a good point when stating that the elite dominate most of the material identity of what remains. This is a good point because infrastructure, murals, possessions, and a sense of style have lasted for so…

The artist who I find the most interesting is Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo was a Mexican self portrait artist. She was well known, and it still well known as a strong feminist icon. She was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyocoan, Mexico City, Mexico. Frida Kahlo began her art work after a horrific bus accident she was involved in which lead to fractures to her spine and pelvis. One of her art pieces included a visual representation of her accident, which shows her spirit reflecting over her body lying on…

White House, along with Nick’s small cottage house above a small drawn paved road where Gatsby’s yellow car sat with an indent on the front left light to show the point where Myrtle was hit. Just little hints of the book where hidden throughout the mural that took up the whole white board. And was so grand that Mrs. Dean kept it there for the rest of the week, to lighten the mood of the somber ending of classic…

Although ethnic clustering is generally used in a negative tone, I think that describes this reading. It is very normal to want to be around people who are similar to you, especially in a place that is trying to take away your culture and force you to assimilate into an American one. Through this clustering, an interpretive space was created that preserved history and helped define a new era. Art is one of the best forms of culture and it can visually express a shared experience or define…

Is graffiti vandalism or art? Graffiti is a way of individuals expressing their own individuality in a form of art. The particular stance, I have chosen to analyze is graffiti, art. Graffiti establishes a stand point in artists to get themselves noticed within the art world, it is also a way of showing and expressing their own individual style that artists can procreate on walls, or throughout streets. Lastly, graffiti is a way to express and get artists and messages across to others in the art…

They sprung up all around Europe and many people enjoyed them. Within the walls of most basilicas, artists would decorate them. They would paint murals on the walls and ceilings that represented their faith. Artists would also illustrated scenes from the Bible in their own depictions (Britannica, Early Christian Art). The need for representations of Christ’s life in Italy was based on practice within…

Term Project Assignment: 10/9 Mission Local reports that the Mission District in San Francisco is in an advanced stage of gentrification. Emma Neiman writes that the district’s median income level, already above average at $73,718, is going to see further increases in the near future. UC Berkeley researchers Miriam Zuk and Karen Chapple, who published their finding in August, found that the two tech-booms, cultural richness, and transportation accessibility led the Mission on a path of rapid…

A LUXURIOUS NIGHT TO REMEMBER IN DRESDEN I think you would agree when I say that, not many people in America have heard of nor been to Dresden Germany. I bet, when you ask your friends, family and colleagues right now if they have heard of Dresden or been to Dresden, they would say NO or probably say WHERE IS IT? I would also bet that if you ask them what’s on their Bucket list or places they would want to see, DRESDEN, would not be one of them. This is one of the many reasons why I chose…

participant in some form during the Tulsa Race Riot, and as his niece I want to show that hatred and fear is not an inherited trait, that future generations can change. I have been in this area of Tulsa many times and I have always appreciated the murals that line the streets. They are a fascinating glimpse into the humanism of the area. However, I did have trouble finding the center. My GPS wanted to take me to a location past the OSU campus and I had to ask a pedestrian if she knew where the…
