Murals: The History of Wall Messaging

Once Upon a time the world was shocked by a very amazing archaeological finds. Namely, rock painting/carvings in the form of figures wears shoes, long pants, shirt and hat, truly extraordinarily. Beyond the public prejudice, the carved rocks found in the cave of Lussac-les-Chateaux in France estimatedly to have been aged 15000-year-old. Concretely, finding treasure in the form of paintings of wild animals, primitive/ancient human activities; from hunting to rituals. It's a very ancient culture image and recorded meticulously, like a journal of life carved on the walls, floor, or ceiling of the cave rocks.

To be sure, in the caves a series of visual images have been carved by civilized ones. Similarly, when the archaeologists in the other hemisphere found ancient images in caves, in fault rocks, on the rock cliff; rock painting in San Francisco and in several European countries, caves in Papua, and also in other places. At this visual image lined messages on the wall through the skilled hands are full accuracy and artistic sensitivity.

No less interesting is that some modern man is now also fond of wall messages aka Murals (creative wall murals). Even up to the present time, Murals has been a creative field that raise a lot of expression of visual forms. But its meaning is much deeper, communication as the basis of social relations that existing and enduring every human civilization. In fact, not just practice the reality of everyday relationships, but growing rapidly as the desire to communicate the existential struggle, both individually as well as community.
