Script on murals
- 1. 20TH Century During the 1930s and early 1940s, a flowering of mural painting in the economically depressed United States took place, resulting in thousands of murals decorating the nation's buildings. Many artists, who had often been isolated from public society, sought at that time to become a significant part of it. American muralists in this 20th century copied the Renaissance process. They made different drawings, including sketches of individual figures, drawings in both black and white and colour, as well as full-scale drawings made for transferring to the wall. It was during the great depression that President Franklin Roosevelt's created a project for artists to get paid for their work. Otherwise known as the new deal programs, artists were participating in competitions to create murals in post offices and other government properties. They were paid to paint murals for lots of states in America. They painted murals for museums hospitals, high schools, housing projects, colleges, music halls, even ships and night clubs also other public places for people to see.
