Street Art Mural Painted by Children, in Matosinhos (Portugal)

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Here's a Street Art mural with a twist. Instead of being painted by a single artist, this appears to have been a collaboration by many kids. Or groups of kids.

I can already imagine the fight among the kids, to set up this puzzle in a way that got everyone satisfied.

I don't know the story behind it and I couldn't find any info, so I'm assuming several kids from a nearby school (or schools) got a few mosaics to paint on. In the end, they glued them all together to form a single mural. Each part represents a different scene and it's visible there are many different styles in play here.

Here's a photo taken from across the street.

It looks like someone needs to take care of those herbs... or they will take over the entire mural!!!

There were also a few tags at this spot but they were so ugly I didn't waste my time shooting those.

What are the material used for the mural? Are they cloth or paper? What happen if it is raining?

No, nothing like that. They are mosaics. First, they are painted. Then they go to the oven to solidify. They last a looooong time!

Oh, I see. It's quite a lot of things to do for the students.
