Mural Painting – Adorning Wall With Leaping Imagination

The Artists and the Artworks The oldest evidence of this art is the San Bartolo murals of the Maya Civilization in Guatemala. India, Mexico, Cuba, and the US (New York) are a few places still housing some of the world famous works. Kerala (India) has a collection of ornate murals (9th century) decorating the walls and the arches of old temples. Diego Rivera (1886-1957), José Orozco (1883-1949), and David Siqueiros (1896-1974) were few of the key Mexican mural artists. In 1976, when the Berlin wall was erected the artists painted on the western side of the wall until the wall fell. The recent works in murals include wallscape, illusionary wall paintings, ceramic tile paintings, and graffiti to name some.

Graphical Perspective – An Illusionary Art

In linear perspective drawing, the light is represented as passing through an illusory rectangle across the scene to the eyes of the viewer. Its a phenomenon similar to looking through a glass window. To put things straight, in a perspective drawing, the viewer is assumed to be at a distance from the actual drawing. Therefore, the objects are not scaled accurately. A circle may appear an oval, or a square may appear a trapezium.
