Public murals are one venue where painting comes into contact with many people. Calling upon your own personal experiences, how do you respond to public murals differently than to paintings exhibited in a museum? The public site can be legal, like a commissioned work, or illegal, like unsolicited graffiti. Write a short essay (300-400 words) that presents your opinion concerning this issue.

Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Citations should be in APA format.

Pay close attention to the rubric below for criteria on which you will be graded.
