Muddy School Murals

Yusuke Asai Helped Create an Extensive Mural Made of Mud

— May 13, 2014 — Art & Design
School murals usually only take up a single space. A popular location for them is on a brick wall in the school's playground. However, that is not the case when it comes to the Niranjana School in Bahar, east India. Every single one of the school's walls and ceilings is decked-out in murals.

Japanese artist Yusuke Asai was one of the main artists who was invited to create the public art, because he is known to make extensive and intricate work with a little amount of supplies. His murals are completely crafted by using only mud, dust and dirt.

The art's purpose is to raise awareness of the school, which is founded by donations from Japanese students and supports Japanese artistry.
Trend Themes
1. Extensive Mural Projects - There is a trend for creating extensive mural projects in public areas such as schools, which could lead to disruptive innovation opportunities for sustainable materials like mud and dirt.
2. Minimalist Art Creation - Minimalist art creation using only a few raw materials can be a trend, which could lead to disruptive innovation opportunities for inexpensive art pieces and organic materials.
3. Art for Awareness - There is a trend for creating art that raises awareness about social issues, which could lead to disruptive innovation opportunities for creating art that has a positive impact on society.
Industry Implications

2. Non-profit and Donation-based Organizations - Non-profit and donation-based organizations can benefit from this trend by supporting sustainable art projects that raise awareness about important social issues.
3. Education and Schooling Industry - The education and schooling industry can benefit from this trend by incorporating art and design projects to promote creativity and raise awareness about important social issues.
