The Mural Project
The Beginnings of Murals• What is a Mural?
• A mural is a painting, drawing, or art that is painted on a wall, building, or large area
• First mural is in Chauvet Cave, 30,000 years ago in Southern France
• These images are taken from a cave in Mexico, and are outlines of hands
• The San Bartolo murals are the first images of Mesoamerica

Significance of Murals
• Murals can be made for many different reasons
• Aesthetics (because they look good)
• Politics (some governments would pay artists to make specific murals)
• Religious (many churches or religious states would commision pieces)
• Social Commentary
• What does “social commentary mean?”
• What themes can you think of that would be the topic of a mural?

Mexican Mural Movement
• The 1930’s Mexican Mural Movement redefined murals for the world.
• It included “los tres grandes:” Diego Rivera, José Orozco, and David Siqueros
• Related to a political and post-revolutionary time of Mexico
• A method to teach, as everyone (even those who couldn’t read) could learn and understand history

Our Process
Bend Community CenterCada|casa’s The Mural Project (Tymon Emch)
• Come up with a theme
• What does Vose mean to you? What do you want the community to represent? What makes this school special?
• Draw an image
• We will then take these images, and talk about what we like on each one
• The rest of the class will vote on who’s mural they like the best
• We will then take that image, scan it, and alter it digitally
• Painting the image
• We will take that digital image, project it onto the wall, then trace it
• We will then fill it in with colors
