  • 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.

  • 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. ART-395 Urban Mural Art – Table of Contents Course Description and Learning Outcomes page 1 Introduction page 2 Narrative pages 3- 13 Evidence Items • Bibliography page 14 • Letter of support page 15 • Letter of support page 16 • Newspaper Article pages 17 & 18 • Newspaper Article page 19 • Samples of work (17 pages) pages 20 - 36 Summary page 37 Urban Mural Art (ART-395) 3.00 s.h. Course Description The course discusses the history and practice of the contemporary mural movement. The course couples step-by-step analysis of the process of designing with the actual painting of a mural. In addition students will learn to see mural art as a tool for social change. Combining theory with practice, students will design and pain a large outdoor mural in West Philadelphia in collaboration with Philadelphia high school students and local community groups. Learning outcomes: • Develop and understanding of the history and practice of mural design • Analyze the design process • Design and paint a mural • Articulate familiarity with the concept of mural painting as it reflects social change • Demonstrate the ability to collaborate with groups and individuals toward a finished piece of art Introduction My career as an artist predates my career as an educator.

  • 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.

  • GUIDE to the HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note the Hitchcock Family Papers Have Been Received As Gifts by the Pocum
    GUIDE TO THE HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Hitchcock Family Papers have been received as gifts by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from several sources over many years. The collection numbers just over 400 items, and date between 1731 and 1979. The papers are those of and relating to the descendants of Luke [d. 1659] and Elizabeth (Gibbons) Hitchcock [d. 1696] of Wethersfield, Connecticut, through their sons John and Luke. The number that accompanies names in the notes below refers to the number assigned to the individual by George Sheldon in genealogical notes on the Hitchcock family in the second volume of his History of Deerfield [1895]. Many of the following biographical notes were selected from that source and from The Genealogy of the Hitchcock Family, compiled and published by Mrs. Edward Hitchcock, Jr. [Amherst, Mass., 1894]. Biographical Notes and Description of Series John Hitchcock4, son of Deacon John2 and Hannah (Chapin) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on April 13, 1670. On September 24, 1691 he married Mary Ball of Springfield and the couple had 11 children, one of whom is mentioned below. He received two shares of the township granted to survivors of the Falls Fight [Turners Falls, Mass.,1676] and their descendants and bequeathed them to his son John. He died in 1751, his widow in 1760. He is represented by four items: deeds to land in Brookfield and Springfield, Mass., dated 1731, a copy of his will, dated December 12, 1750, an account relating to the sale of his estate. Samuel Hitchcock7, son of Ensign John4 and Mary (Ball) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on June 9, 1717.

  • Emily Dickinson - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Emily Dickinson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Emily Dickinson(10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886) Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence. Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime. The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends. Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent.
