Muralist and mosaic artist Greta McLain has always liked big walls, so to her, it made sense that she would pursue an impactful medium of art, murals. In Minneapolis alone, she has created over 30 murals and also has murals in countries such Argentina, Mexico, and France. ”When I was a kid, I went to an International Fine Arts Magnet School so I was introduced to art through that. I did my first mural when I was in 4th grade and I just really remembered it and it influenced me a lot,” McLain said

What is the purpose of art? There is art for art’s sake, there is the ‘percent for art’ ordinance, and there is art with the intention of popularity or even to push societal norms. The list can go on and on, but one of the most respectable purposes is the intention of giving the under privileged a voice of their own in an environment of oppression. Public muralists single handedly achieve that goal. The service a muralist gives is not only added aesthetic value to a neighborhood with his or her art

Thomas Hart Benton was a muralist and an American painter. He had focus on the Regionalist movement art along with Grant and John Curry. Thomas Benton has had a great impact on the color, the resonant ideas and exuberance. Benton identified different diverse ideas of contradiction: the rituals and the urban, freedom, oppression, the poor, rich labor and entertainment (Marling, 1982). As Mural developed the ideas, he span two epochs on the excess of “Jazz Age” and bitter side of depression in the

There have two pieces of the article I recently read about, which is “This is water” by David Foster Wallace, and “Letter to a young poet” by Rainer Maria Rilke. I will be discussing the contrast between this two article and tell the audience what they were precisely thinking about life. For Wallace, he passed commencement speech to share the advice to people who hear at a college graduation. In his speech, he delivered the reality of how a typical adult life goes. His statement also talked about

lyrically intense German poets.” Love is a passionate affection for another person, it can become meaningful and full of emotions. Rainer Maria Rilke used experiences, beliefs, and social circumstances in the poem “Love Song” to convey love’s important and meaningful message. First, Rainer uses his experiences to help him write better poems. Since Rainer left Prague for Munich Rainer was greeted with a new environment and people, which would influence him to make poems about different topics. “And now we

Humans all experience pride in their life, both in the negative and the positive sense. Pride can mean being proud of your work; positive, or having an inordinately high opinion of yourself; negative. While Andrey in “The Black Monk” and Father Gonzaga demonstrate a negative sense of pride, Rilke recommends a positive sense of pride in one's own work. Each of these people feels pride, but for some it is a pride in accomplishment while for others it is a sense of aloofness. Andrey Kovrin in “The

In Letters to a Young Poet, “Letter One” has very similar ideas and thoughts to the excerpts from Black Swan Green, “Hangman” and “Solarium”. In “Letter One” by Rainer Rilke, the central idea is that beauty is already in poetry but the author inputs his or her own flare to the already beautiful work. Rilke also explains that criticism does not make the rough edges round, because those rough edges make the piece literature unique. The ideas in “Hangman” and “Solarium” are similar but different. David

There is a formula of writing that Rainer Maria Rilke explores in his Letters to a Young Poet. This formula, which describes a balance between two extremes, is also applicable to life. In order for true meaning and purpose to be gleaned from life, it has to be lived deeply in a combination of solitude and engaging with the world. In the first letter, Rilke cautions Kappus against turning to outside sources for advice, “you ask whether your verses are any good … you send them to magazines, you compare

and potentially universal," - Conrad Aiken Widely recognized as one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets, Rainer Maria Rilke was unique in his efforts to expand the realm of poetry through new uses of syntax and imagery and in the philosophy that his poems explored. With regard to the

Greece is a country located west of Turkey and southeast of Italy which is famous for all the greek mythology that has been created. Within the context of greek mythology “Sibylla” or “Sibyl” means a prophetess, which within both of our poems which are based on the extensive greek mythology, a character by the name of Sibylla appears and decides to take an action that would cost her a great amount. Within the poem “The Sibyl becomes Gray and Decrepit’ By Ovid, there is a storyin which a character
