Art Wall





The video of the wall being painted on in the video was inspiring to me because it shows the ideas of stone soup again because of the collaboration of ideas to make the video. I like the playfulness of every artist that shared their art to the wall. Every artist treated the art as more of an experiment also like how Andy Goldsworthy does art which is by playing around with resources and making what looks aesthetic and ephemeral. All the artists express in a way of leaving a mark and moving on which lets the art really speak for its own.
                The use of black and white through the piece gives the whole video a unified meaning. The color at the end of the video caught the viewers’ attention and gives a new resource for the artist to work with. The wall gave a sound almost to the video of the ideas in peoples’ minds. There were many continuing lines that lead the eye to different objects. Every scene drawn was almost like a narrative because the pictures could be compared and interpreted in a way where everything related to each other. The video told a narrative its self by having artist disobey authority and paint on the wall. All the artists have a mutual agreement that the wall is shared and that anyone can modify it.  The whole video can convey that artist can co-exist with each other rather than be independent competitors.  It democratizes art to be a group effort.
