Name Date Class CITIZENSHIP AND SERVICE LEARNING ACTIVITY 1 Brainstorming a Mural Why It’s Important Art has been an important part of human life since its earliest days. Today, in many neighborhoods, public art is on display. Murals are painted on buildings. A mural is a picture large enough to cover a whole wall of a building or room. Murals serve many purposes. They may express the common history and hopes of a community. They may beautify an ugly wall. They may bring comfort or humor to a hospital waiting area. They may unite a community as many people work together designing it, painting it, supporting it, and enjoying it. Background Evidence of the art of early humans is found in many locations around the world. These people used art to record their experiences and perhaps for religious purposes. The cave paintings at Lascaux, France, show animals that were important to the painters as food or as sacred beings. These cave paintings are the world’s earliest murals. Sumerian art includes architecture, sculpture, and pottery, as well as paintings. You can see examples in your textbook on pages 18 and 19. The Assyrians were skilled in the arts, particularly sculpture. The Babylonians adorned their buildings with paintings of animals, plants, and other symbols. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were, in a sense, a huge public sculpture, designed to be visible from any point in the city. Questions to Consider Directions: Answer the questions below on a separate sheet of paper. 1. What public art are you familiar with? What does it mean to you? What goal is the art supposed to accomplish? 2. How do you decorate your own space? Have you put up posters or special wallpaper? 3. What public spaces in your environment could benefit from a mural? 4. What symbols would you use to represent yourself? What symbols represent your school? Your community? 17 CHAPTER 1
