Massive Murals

“The NVIV (Next Vista Inspiring Video) series of posts are written by Rushton Hurley and designed to provide students and teachers with fascinating discussion prompts.”

In A Massive Mural, Rushton features Horizontes, a community project that fuses activism and creative expression organized by Armando Minjarez,.

He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“Do you know where the public art in your community is? Do you know what stories it tells?

If you were to paint a picture that speaks about the hope you have for yourself and everyone in your community, what would you paint?”


We love to travel and I am always thrilled to go through a town that has huge murals on the sides of its buildings. I like to see what someone thought would be eye-catching for their building. I think the murals tell a lot about the town and what it values. It would be interesting for students to look at local buildings and think about what mural would look great on a wall and share why.

Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
