We'd go to the site; normally a school. During the first year, the school was the location of the mural, and during the second year, we did the planning in a High School in North Philadelphia, and the mural was composed elsewhere. For around 3-5 hours, we would engage in basic art training, as well as planning for the murals. I was able to channel my creativity and technical knowledge of the arts into the mural, which was a very enjoyable experience for me. The first year was fairly simple, but I was disappointed that we didn't have more direct involvement in the creation of the mural.
We prepared a few elements and did the research and brainstorming, but I wish we could have been more involved in the actual creation.

Philadelphia Mural Arts Program
I recently applied to the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program's Paid Summer Internship. I had to write an essay (one of my least favorite things to do) for the application. When I was doing research for this essay, I snooped around a lot on the and. Was something that I was totally unaware of until I had to write this essay. It totally blew me away.
About
I watched all of the short videos about the project that were posted and a really great. These two Dutch guys named Hass and Hahn got a grant to paint like four entire blocks of Germantown Ave. They are known for painting a hillside of favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro bright colors. I really like these guys - they do amazing work and don't think too hard. Another thing I saw on the Mural Arts website was the that's in progress now. I remember a couple of years ago when they were accepting submissions for that mural, and I couldn't do it because I was going to be in Poland when all of the important planning meetings would have been happening. All I can say is, I wish I would've applied anyways! Copy spooled file to ifs.
I am unimpressed by the design of this mural. I feel like everything looks disjointed with how the scale shifts so much. I feel like the artist was successful in the shifting scale of the kangaroos, because it feels like one of them is in the foreground. In defense of this design, it is on the side of a parking garage, so I feel like designing anything would be really difficult with those grey strips breaking everything up.
