Alternative Presentation of Idea For Community Art Project

This document proposes an alternative theme for a community art project mural at a school. The original mural depicted a timeline of the school's history over 75 years. The proposed alternative suggests creating the mural in the style of graffiti art, which is popular among young people. Graffiti art uses vibrant colors and bold styles that would appeal to children. Key events from the school's history could still be depicted through graffiti-style images. The mural could also take inspiration from the style of famous graffiti artist Banksy, simplifying his designs to be child-friendly while keeping the graffiti aesthetic.

Alternative Presentation of Idea for


Community Art Project
It is evident that for our community art project that we created a childrens mural for a
school playground. The school wanted us to create a timeline of events on the mural to
celebrate 75 years since the school opened. To do this we included events and objects that
were famous from each decade. It proved successful, but it can be suggested that we could
have presented or created the mural in a
different theme.
After researching, I found that murals in the
form of graffiti are much more popular than
ever before. Graffiti is a new expression of art
that is very popular and successful amongst
young people, or generally people of all ages.
I felt that by creating a graffiti mural we
would be adhering to this new form of art,
and also appealing to young people instead of
creating something they may not necessarily like.
As you can see, graffiti can be vibrant and potentially change the way a place or wall is
perceived, giving it a unique edge for whatever the reason may be. By using vibrant colours
in this form and making bold statements, the children would be drawn to the mural and
would enjoy the bold colouring and style.
St Cecilias primary school wanted us to create a timeline of events that the school has been
through during the 75 years it has been opened. In order
to replicate this in an alternative fashion with the graffiti
theme, we could still create images of inventions and
events that have happened across time. I particularly
like this print of graffiti, a bold black print of the image
with a touch of other vibrant colours. We could use this
concept to create events in time such as the war and the
London Olympics.

Banksy
Banksy is a British graffiti artist, whose work has become international, making him one of
the most successful graffiti artists to date. With the theme of graffiti, the community project
Unit 3 M2
could adhere to an artist (Banksy) and we
could therefore create images in the style of
Banksy but in a more simplistic and child
friendly format. For example, in one of the
images you can see there is a child swinging
on a rubber ring. This would be easy to
replicate in order to fit the themes for our
mural, as our mural evidently had
silhouettes of children on there. In order to
make them into the style of Banksy, we would include white into the silhouettes and include
objects for the children to be playing with.
