Taggers and Graffiti Vandals of Outdoor Murals Put on Notice By God Fathers.umangp23
The 1984 Olympic outdoor freeway murals in Los Angeles are the battleground between vandalism and great art/civic pride. After several sessions of graffiti removal it appears that the taggers have received a message from someone they fear.
The document discusses the history and restoration efforts of a Doughboy statue memorializing Montgomery County soldiers who died in World War I. It was originally dedicated in 1929 at Clarksville High School but was moved to the National Guard Armory and has deteriorated over time. The Leaf-Chronicle newspaper has partnered with the city to restore the statue and move it to Legion Street as its intended lasting tribute. The restoration will require careful cleaning and decisions about conservatively repairing damage and potentially replicating missing features like the soldier's rifle and face.

This document is a student's responses to discussion questions for an architecture course on American diversity and design. In the first response, the student discusses how the development of railroads in the US in the 19th century positively impacted transportation and economic development but negatively impacted Native American populations by displacing them from their lands. The second response agrees with the course text that involving diverse groups in the design process leads to more equitable outcomes. It provides the example of how disability rights advocates in the 1960s raised awareness of barriers and eventually helped pass the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990.

The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop was an initiative to take previous design and community development efforts of Glass House Collective to the next level.
During a two-day intensive design workshop, over 100 workshop participants proposed ways to improve Glass Street while maintaining a realistic attitude about both big and small moves that, collectively, could begin to enhance the prospects for the neighborhood and its citizens.
Teams were asked to consider how improved urbanism could have a positive impact on various aspects of the neighborhood, including business viability, quality public spaces, access to services, improved housing options, increased public safety, and opportunities for the community to engage and contribute.
Designs needed to leverage the variety of assets that already exist in the community including physical places, existing businesses, individuals, organizations, previous accomplishments, and sections of the built environment.
What resulted were dozens of creative, realistic, and scalable urban revitalization tactics for improving residential, commercial, and public space within a 5 minute walk radius surrounding historic Glass Street, each contributing to the revitalization effort already underway. Designs specifically addressed implementation within 1 month, 1 year, 3 year time frames, prioritizing lighter, quicker, and cheaper techniques.
While not all the proposals generated will be implemented as designed, they will be the basis of successive small neighborhood workshops to explore specific concepts, projects, and implementation tactics reflecting the residential, commercial, and public space needs of the Glass Street community. Glass House Collective will work with the neighborhood to adapt designs, ultimately using a bunch of little things to create the next big thing on the street.
Using the lenses that Glass House Collective sees their work through, the Outcomes of The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop have been organized into three categories:
• Here Because We Love It Here, proposals focused on Creative Placemaking
• Bringing Life Back to Glass Street, proposals focused on Feet on the Streets
• The Next Big Thing, proposals focused on New Partnerships
Not all proposals developed during the workshop are included in this document; however, those that most closely meet the mission of Glass House Collective have been compiled and described in the pages that follow. The appendix lists all project proposals from each team.
Three potential site-specific art projects at our school were identified:
1. Transforming the drab MLK Cube sculpture outside into a colorful work through painting, lighting, or other additions.
2. Beautifying the bleak interior stairways by adding murals, hanging artwork, or interactive installations.
3. Enlivening dull classroom spaces by working with teachers to incorporate student artwork on walls, windows, or other surfaces.

Murals are large artworks painted directly onto walls or ceilings. Some of the earliest murals date back over 30,000 years to paintings found in caves in France. Ancient cultures like the Egyptians, Minoans, and those in Pompeii also created murals. In modern times, murals became popular again through Mexican muralist movements. Murals bring art to the public and can have social, political, or propaganda purposes. Famous murals can be found worldwide, including in Mexico, New York, Belfast, and Berlin.

Public art can take many forms, including sculptures, murals, and graffiti. It is often funded by governments and created by artists to be displayed in public spaces for educational purposes or to beautify an area. However, public art can also be controversial as not all viewers may appreciate or understand the artwork. It sometimes faces issues regarding its funding source or potential to cause disruption. While temporary or permanent, public art aims to expose more people to art outside of traditional galleries or museums.

The two hats discussed in the articles - the red "pussyhat" and the pink cat-eared hat worn by Melania Trump - are effective vehicles of communication design because they use visual symbols (color and imagery) to convey specific political and social meanings.
The pink pussyhat carries meanings of feminism, resistance to misogyny, and support for women's rights. By being pink and having cat ears, it directly references women's anatomy and issues in a bold, unapologetic way.
The pink cat-eared hat worn by Melania Trump also uses pink color and cat ear imagery, but it came to represent more superficial, objectified views of women rather than meaningful support for their rights and

Amazing Transformation for Public Art
Olympic Freeway Mural by Kent Twitchell
Jim Morphesis Monument under Temple St. Overpass in LA
Kent Twitchell painted the realistic mural "Jim Morphesis Monument" under the
101 freeway overpass of Grand Ave. in downtown Los Angeles. It is part of a two
piece mural called "The 7th Street Altarpiece." And Altarpiece is part of the 1984
Olympics murals series that adorned our freeways with 11 murals by living
masters. Since their placement on the freeways, however, vandalism graffiti has
all but obliterated the fabulous, quality public works of art and has saddened
millions of Los Angelinos and visitors.
There have been several attempts over the years to restore the mural in the
picture above but efforts have always fallen short when it comes to maintaining
them and keeping the graffiti off. There have been a number of reasons for this
but it boils down to establishing a professional committed organization to follow
through and work well with others… and the consistency to “stay on it.”

Conservator. MCLA has targeted the saving, protection and maintaining of these
11 Olympic murals from 1984 as their highest priority right now. The problem
that motivates MCLA? Caltrans. The highway maintenance department of the
State of California, who has a mandate to paint out graffiti, has painted out 7 of
the 11 murals much to the despair of artists, art lovers, and the general public
which has commented energetically on blogs and websites every time a mural
gets painted out.
Well, MCLA to the rescue who has been fantastic at raising awareness, making
the political connections, fund raising and pulling together the professional
organization to get the job done and follow through for the long term. Combine
MCLA's resources, contacts and energy with FACL, Inc. and Scott M. Haskins
and there has been great progress! The first mural on the list to benefit from the
new partnerships and efforts: Kent Twitchell's "Jim Morphesis Monument"
This has been in the planning now for almost a year. The first meeting of the
minds occurred in 2011 when FACL, Inc. and Scott M. Haskins met on the
freeways with Caltrans last April:

los-angeles-meets-with-caltrans-to-inspect-downtown-la-freeway-murals/.
With the “adoption” of Jim Morphesis Monument and the raising of funds for its
continued maintenance, graffiti removal tests were done to establish the
cleaning and mural restoration processes.

3. Several graffiti removal
processes were
evaluated and a
combination specifically
customized to meet the
needs of this particular
mural were the right
method to get the job
done quickly (a
necessary requirement
while working on a
freeway!) and be able to
maintain it easily over
time. Without getting
into all the gory details
of what we used and the techniques, the short version of the explanation is that
we first cause the graffiti paint to swell and then we blast it off with a technique
that doesn't hurt the original mural's paint. Here's what the graffiti paint looks
like as we swell it (see photo).
Here's a great photo shot of the graffiti
peeling off the original mural and allowing
the gorgeous original colors to come
screaming into the daylight once again.
Kent Twitchell was blown away by the
successful results of these graffiti processes.
Its an emotional experience to see a
gorgeous work of art buried in filth and
darkness and then see it liberated and be
resurrected and reclaimed. I was moved
also. The transformation was amazing!
So, where there was doubt, now there is
hope and light and we see the way to get the
job done on a massive scale for the other
murals too. And, in fact, there is a doable
plan for the extensive graffiti removal in this
difficult location for FACL, Inc. and Scott M.
Haskins to follow through on and do quality,
efficient work.
4. The job then required doing the paperwork with Caltrans and Public Works,
getting into motion the logistics (which are not a few!) and then scheduling the
work. The stars aligned and the traffic gods complied, FACL, Inc. and Scott M.
Haskins’ art conservation team completed the graffiti removal and art
conservation/restoration work at the beginning of December 2011.
There has been a general gasp of amazement and excitement seeing the really
terrific, world class, colorful mural of Jim Morphesis Monument by Kent
Twitchell resurface again, clean and gorgeous.

Kent Twitchell said, I never dreamed or hoped that my mural could look so
amazing after all its been through. You, Virginia and the others of your team
have worked well with Caltrans to make this a wonderful project. Thank you and
I look forward to working with you on other projects.!”
And Isabel Rojas-Williams, “I have nothing but gratefulness for you and the
FACL team. What a wonderful job you all did, the mural looks stunning! I never
hoped that the mural could look this amazing! You’ve done a fantastic job with
the restoration/conservation work. Thank you for being such a leader in the
process and being such a quality professional. I am looking forward to keep on
working with all of you to have LA regain its title as The Mural Capital of the
World!”
