A Practical Guide to Creating a Mural
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CREATING A MURAL 1 WHY CREATE A MURAL? The benefits of murals are plentiful: not only do they beautify and enhance the urban environment, they deter costly tagging, foster community partnerships and pride, and can even boost the local economy. Above all, they’re fun! This guide assists artists, community organizations, business and property owners and arts and heritage organizations by recommending best practices in mural production. The guide is to be used in conjunction with the City of Nelson Murals Policy, which outlines the approval process for murals. An application form must be completed to propose a mural. The City of Nelson’s Cultural Development Commission is also available to offer advice. DEFINITIONS COMMEMORATION: The act of honouring or perpetuating the memory of a person, persons, event, historical period or idea that has been deemed significant. COMMUNITY ART: Public participation and collaboration with professional artists in visual art, dance, music, theatre, literary and/or media arts within a community context and venue. MURAL: A large-scale artwork completed on a surface with the permission of the owner. Media may include paint, ceramic, wood, tile and photography, etc. SIGN: If the primary intent of the work is to convey commercial information, it is a sign. TAGGING: A common type of graffiti is "tagging", which is the writing, painting or "bombing" of an identifiable symbolic character or "tag" that may or may not contain letters. PUBLIC WALLS: A space that belongs to a public organization, i.e. municipal, provincial or federal government. Approval for the mural should be among the first steps undertaken in the planning process.

Accepted forms of visual art include: Collages, photographic collages (multiple photos cut/pasted), computer-generated image, design, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Non-accepted forms of visual art include: 3D artwork (artwork that is not flat on the surface). Reproductions or enlargements of another artwork. Reflect on the 2020-2021 Theme: I Matter Because… An explanation of the art form might be a useful addition to the artist statement. Whether an entry displays use of formal technique or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity. Copyright: Use of copyrighted material, including any copyrighted cartoon characters or likeness thereof, is not acceptable in any visual arts submission, with the following exceptions: • Visual artwork may include public places, well-known products, trademarks or certain other copyrighted material as long as that copyrighted material is incidental to the subject matter of the piece and/or is a smaller element of a whole. The resulting work cannot try to establish an association between the student and the trademark/business/material, or influence the purchase/non-purchase of the trademarked good. • Visual arts collages may include portions of existing copyrighted works, such as photographs, magazine clippings, internet images and type cut out of a newspaper, as long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art.

SAMPLE Portfolio Assessment for ART-395 Urban Mural
SAMPLE Portfolio Assessment for ART-395 Urban Mural Art Note from the Office of Portfolio Assessment Knowledge and background in more “applied” subjects tend to be better suited for portfolio assessment credit because the student’s proof of “doing the work” is viewed as direct evidence of the knowledge. In this portfolio you will see more than a dozen “samples of work” along with several letters of support. In such portfolios those are the two most significant types of necessary evidence to earn credit.

Mural Mural on the Wall: Revisiting Fair Use of Street Art
UIC REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW MURAL MURAL ON THE WALL: REVISITING FAIR USE OF STREET ART MADYLAN YARC ABSTRACT Mural mural on the wall, what’s the fairest use of them all? Many corporations have taken advantage of public art to promote their own brand. Corporations commission graffiti advertising campaigns because they create a spectacle that gains traction on social media. The battle rages on between the independent artists who wish to protect the exclusive rights over their art, against the corporations who argue that the public art is fair game and digital advertising is fair use of art. The Eastern Market district of Detroit is home to the Murals in the Market Festival. In January 2018, Mercedes Benz obtained a permit from the City of Detroit to photograph its G 500 SUV in specific downtown areas. On January 26, 2018, Mercedes posted six of these photographs on its Instagram account. When Defendant-artists threatened to file suit, Mercedes removed the photos from Instagram as a courtesy. In March 2019, Mercedes filed three declaratory judgment actions against the artists for non-infringement. This Comment will analyze the claims for relief put forth in Mercedes’ complaint and evaluate Defendant-artists’ arguments. Ultimately, this Comment will propose how the court should rule in the pending litigation of MBUSA LLC v. Lewis.

Mural Creation Best Practices
Mural Creation Best Practices Since 2006, Heritage Preservation’s Rescue Public Murals (RPM) initiative has confronted the risks that community murals face by being located in outdoor, public spaces. Murals have been, and are an increasingly, popular public art form that adds vibrancy and vitality to the built landscape. Many communities in the United States, large and small, have mural programs or are actively commissioning murals. Unfortunately, almost every community is also aware of the negative image that a faded, flaking, or vandalized mural creates or the misfortune of an artist’s work that has been unjustly removed or destroyed. While working to ensure the protection and preservation of existing murals, RPM recognizes that many common issues that murals face could have been mitigated with careful planning and preparation. RPM has held conversations and brainstorming sessions with muralists, conservators, art historians, arts administrators, materials scientists, and engineers to document best practices for mural creation. We present these recommendations on this website. Recommendations are not meant to be prescriptive but instead to pose questions and raise issues that should be considered at each stage of creating a mural: planning, wall selection, wall and surface preparation, painting, coating, and maintenance. Each recommendation has been considered both for mural commissioning organizations/agencies and for artists to address their particular needs and concerns. Each section includes links to further reading on the topic. The recommendations on this website assume that a mural that is painted with careful planning and consideration to technique and materials and that receives regular maintenance could have a lifespan of 20-30 years.

59 San Bartolo, Petén: Late Preclassic Techniques Of
59 SAN BARTOLO, PETÉN: LATE PRECLASSIC TECHNIQUES OF MURAL PAINTING Heather Hurst Keywords: Maya archaeology, Maya art, Guatemala, Petén, San Bartolo, mural painting, artistic techniques, painters, artists, Late Preclassic period Like the artist in charge of drawings for the San Bartolo Archaeological Project, the murals of San Bartolo have been documented as faithfully as possible through scale drawings and watercolor paintings. The illustration process presented me with the opportunity to conduct a very detailed observation of both the pictorial technique and the style of the San Bartolo artists. Just like modern artists copy the works of Rembrandt and Michelangelo to get acquainted with their techniques, in the San Bartolo murals every line, color, figure and even paint drops were copied, providing an opportunity to study the Maya masters of the Late Preclassic period. Now, all observations will be presented in regard to the preparation of walls, the design, the composition, the pictorial technique and the style of the San Bartolo murals. PREPARATION OF WALLS Structure Sub-1 in Las Pinturas was conceived and built as a unitary addition to the east side of the mound (Figure 1). The structure was specifically designed to be painted with murals and intended to be easily seen. Las Pinturas Sub-1 is a single, open room with three main doorways in the façade and two secondary ones at the sides. The walls climb until they form a curvature similar to the springing of a vault, but it is known that this room was not vaulted. Instead, the walls continue climbing vertically until they form a frieze that protrudes slightly from the walls and surrounds the four sides of the room, and on which the murals were painted.

Mural Rights: Establishing Standing for Communities Under American Moral Rights Laws
Mural Rights: Establishing Standing for Communities Under American Moral Rights Laws Christian Ehret * Introduction The origins of mural art have been traced back more than 30,000 years, evidenced by prehistoric images of animals found painted on the walls of the Chauvet Cave in Southern France.1 Throughout history, murals have been employed by man to tell stories and to convey artistic expression. The Ajanta Caves in Maharashtra, India, date back to the third century B.C. and contain intricate mural art depicting the Jataka stories.2 The San Bartolo murals in Guatemala were created in the first century B.C. and represent an important part of Mayan history.3 The significance of mural art still exists in society today and remains an effective way of communicating expression to a large, public audience. Public murals create accessible artistic expression for the enjoyment of all classes of people, help to define urban neighborhoods and offer aesthetic relief from blight and abandonment. Given the recognized historical and artistic importance of public mural art, imagine the following scenario: an artist is given the opportunity to paint a mural on the side of a building to be enjoyed by the city and its visitors and to elevate the moods of passersby. The neighborhood chosen to host the artwork is undergoing redevelopment and revival, slowly recovering from an economically depressed past. Five years pass and the artwork has become a landmark of the neighborhood. Travel guides direct visitors to it; art journals, magazines and books have * Christian Ehret is a second-year student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
