Painting the town blurb

Hi everybody,

welcome back to my blog.

Today I'll be talking about my blurb so without further ado here it is:

Paint the town blurb-

Since the 2011 earthquakes most of the buildings in town got damaged and knocked down and rebuilding it takes a lot of time, but in the meantime creativity is helping to lift spirits. Music, movies, art etc. These are helping people to get through hard times especially visual art, since when did this explosion of art come through? After the earthquakes the art gallery was closed but that didn’t stop them, so the started painting the town to keep giving people art.

The art gallery sartet to put temporary art all around the city such as walls, and even roofs of the whole city. Many of very creative projects have also been helped by a group called gap filler. In December 2013 two public events of art took place, a project called from the ground up got a group of New Zealand artist to Christchurch for one whole week of creativity on the streets and a huge art festival called rise opened and artists from New Zealand, Australia and Belgium all got fifteen amazing pieces of artwork done all around city walls.

One of the first public pieces of art was done by Wayne Youle. His painting was a giant shadow board that you would find in a work shed or garage. It’s called I seem to have temporarily misplaced my humour and it’s 37 METRES LONG!! But it’s not just tools, it also has toys, instruments and even animals. He says the mural is for all of the people that lend a hand when others needed it, and also it was for all of the things that people that had lost something in the 2011 earthquakes.

Thanks for coming back to my blog.

Let me know if you've ever written a blurb before.

Until next time BYE.
