Musers

Arnold Belkin, a muralist, said that “mural is more than just a beautiful hand - writing, it is a reflection of a feeling and emotion”. A scratch is divided into two parts ; mural and graffiti. As we know, government has rules against vandalizing public facility. If someone destroys a public facility, he or she must be put in jail. I will show you different side of mural. Mural is not something futile because it has some advantages such as refreshing our mind, helping us to get extra income, helping us to increase our creativity and helping us to sharpen our brain.

Unlike graffiti, mural is the act of drawing or writing something on walls and pillars in public places with the use of aerosol spray and paints, and the muralist have permission to do it. Mural was founded firstly in united states in 1970. By someone who drew or wrote something on walls and pillars in public places with the use of aeorosol spray and paints, yet was permitted to do it by the government later called as “muralist”.
Refreshing our mind. It means mural can give us spirit especially when we are in the middle of a traffic jam, but if you see variety of pictures on the road, we can feel a bit better because we can see funny pictures and statement from variety of pictures in mural. A researcher once said that colors are very useful to refresh our mind, like the color of green. If you see the object which is green, you can she feel fresher. Because mural is full with of colors, mural is usefulto refresh our mind.
Helping us to get extra income. Mural can help you to get side job which is useful for increase your income. From some exhibition, we can get profit, we can join some events to show our mural to visitors. If we are lucky, we will be the winner and we can get much money from the exhibition. Besides that, we can get profit from competition. Not only money that we can have from competition., but also network among muralist. So, we can get ideas from other muralist. Take Carlos Almaraz who is a muralist as an example, since he was a child mural has become a part of is live because he loved it very much. One day, he drew mural, he took part in a competition and he became the first winner from the event. His mural was sold for $1000. He was very surprised and he was proud of himself. It is amazing that from drawing on the walls. Carlos almaraz can get an extra income although mural is only his hobby. Then, a muralist can get fee from public service advertisement, there for the government of Yogyakartahas a budget for muralist to make public service advertisement on the walls and pillars. For example, a muralist makes advertisement about prohibitive regulation for smoking in public area, because it is very important to reduce our generation to be a smoker. From that mural, the government hopes that poor people can understand the message of the advertisement even though they are illiterate.
Than, a muralist can get fee from commercial advertisement, like motorcycle advertisement. The muralist must have an idea to make the amazing and useful advertisement for people who read it. The muralist make colorful advertisement so that people can read the advertisement and they are interested in buying a product. Muralist not only delivers a message of buying a product that also create and important message, like using a helmet when riding a motorcycle. From that way, muralist can get money from commercial advertisement.
Helping us to increase our creativity. It means that mural is the right place to express our creativity. With mural, we can get our creativity, buy drawing or painting something that is useful for others. Moreover, mural can develop our sense of art. When you make mural, it can developes you sense of art indirectly because mural is an art. The art is divided into some parts such as; mural and graffiti. They are related each other and they cannot separated. Mural can develop your ability too, especially in drawing something. Mural is not only developing your sense of art but a also developing your ability.
Helping us to sharpen our brain. It means that mural can give us some exercise to sharpen our left brain, because the researcher said that if we draw something, it can help us to sharpen our brain, or if we do something with our left side of the body, it can help us to sharpen our brain, too. Not only our left brain that can sharpen mural from, but also mural can sharpen our right brain because if we draw or right something it means our right brain is working, indirectly.
In summary, mural can give us more advantages than disadvantages. Mural can make walls and pillars good. Besides that, mural makes our town full of colors. It is better than if we create something that is very useless and we just mess up our town. Therefore, mural is not vandalism because it is beautiful hand – writing and beautiful drawing. If we had a talent for drawing or painting, try to develop our strength, who knows our mural can make our life better.
