Main idea: “Does the objective of a mural still stand?”

We are finding out about the responses of Singaporeans, the artists and even the commissioners. Asking why and what was initial decision to put it at the supposed locations.

Murals placed at MRT and shopping areas: Do people realized that the murals are there or will they even recognize the murals they pass by everyday?

Murals drew using freehand graffiti etc.: Do they have a certain meaning or code they want the public to know or is it for pure expression?

From what we have derived from the research, we know that the different levels of understanding from a human. At first, it was more directional and straight to the point, telling us where to find water, what happened at that point of time. Slowly, it became something more deep-lust, humor and secret codes, what is the human mentality of it today, in our very own Singapore?

Perhaps from all these, we are able to find similarities within the artists, be it their inspirations or styles and techniques in what they do, likewise do Singaporeans share the similar thoughts to the murals as well?

Cheers,

Some elements for our doc

Some of the content we thought of including are:

• History of mural
• Various art movements
• Highlights of significant murals around the world
• Interviews of muralists
• Process of creation of mural

Pacing of the video is somewhat like the link(s) if more than one below
http://www.commoncraft.com/election
whereby the oral presentation is without much pauses, unlike those draggy documentaries.

Other reference: 1 | 2

But having redefined our FYP scope, we’ve decided to do on Murals in Singapore. And this time it is <10 mins
