Art That Changed The World

Berlin Wall:

  The Berlin Wall is of great significance as it captures an entire country's emotion and devastation; marking it in history. The remaining wall was split into sections allowing more than one artist to express these shared feelings in their different styles. This allows more people to be drawn in as different art appeals to different people, allowing a vast majority to understand the feeling of freedom, life and importance of humanity in Germany. 

   For me being able to walk next to the wall and see all these different arts was mesmerising. I noticed a lot of light blue was used throughout a majority of the paintings, creating this soft, sometimes mellow tone. The light blue helped convey this mood of freedom and clarity almost as if looking at a clear sky and leaving behind this depression that was holding Germany down. The picture to the right shows one of the artworks that conveys a claustrophobic feeling through the never ending faces piled on top of one another. It's hard to identify a significant feature from each face showing how everyone has been stripped from any individuality. However every single face shares an agonizing expression that really haunts the viewer.
