So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Why Wall Mural Can Be Seen Everywhere

By Ericka Marsh


The good thing about creating art is that there is no limit to what you can create and how you do it. This is the reason why you can see various sizes and different forms of art everywhere. For example, painting something is not limited by the size of canvas that you have. If you think that the thing you want to paint is not going to fit in a certain fabric, you can make use of larger spaces such as walls.

Murals are painted on walls and ceilings. And most of the time, the painting depicts something that is closely related to the structure of the building and the purpose for having it. In bigger places like New York, you will have the chance to get to see different NYC wall mural in many parts of the city. You will surely see different pictures being depicted since it has become a norm to have color in walls of the streets.

The main goal for creating these things is to present a certain idea for the public to know. Artists have their own different ways in making sure that their ideas are heard or watched. And this is usually what they do when they want to express something. These ideas can be something that can be random. But most of the time, these things usually say something about politics or the economy.

There are different methods on how they are going to cover the huge space of the walls. Most of the time, the professional artist would try to hire amateur ones to help make sure that all the walls are covered. Other artists take the task up on themselves. And they are the ones who start and finish this on their own. The materials and the things they need usually come from the community.

When the message is something that the painter would like to tell the world in surprise, they choose not to inform the community about it. They secretly work on this project. Most of the time, these are messages and ideas that people need to hear. There are many individuals who do not agree with this and often brand the paintings as acts of vandalism.

When you create a mural, there are various purposes for it. The communities have this as a means to attract tourist or to show what they are proud of in their villages. That is why the pictures in most of the murals in the communities are something related to the culture and the history of the village or the community.

There are also others who want to create a wall of respect. This can be used as tribute to a certain person. This was an idea adopted during the times when colored people were always given a hard time. This is the reason why their achievements are detailed through painting.

Although you will usually see pictures, several things are actually being shown in it. One of the usual image that you will see are the different issues that the society is facing. This is painted in the hope that people would take notice and take action to help in their own little way. This is actually something that is considered a very powerful tool.

Street fights were very popular before as there were different gangs who battle out in the streets for territory. To prevent from having these incidents, symbols of peace and harmony are drawn in the sides of the streets to encourage people to live more harmoniously.
