in society. Murals offer a contemporary reflection on messages
and issues that matter to people. Murals artists often call for

In this digital world, digital art has been part of modern people's
lives. In several countries, digital art has become more popular
among digital the society. Due to the advantages of art, many
artists prefer to create digital art over traditional art. It makes
people speculate that digital art will replace traditional art.
However, the statement is debatable due to many reasons. The
first reason is that people still appreciate the handmade value
of traditional art. Traditional art which is assembled by a real-
life human is unique. It remains when new media are
discovered. There are still many children's books and editorial
illustrators that still use traditional media. The sight, texture,
and smell of oil paint which are skilfully applied to a rough
canvas have been something very appealing. Furthermore,
traditional art has its history that cannot be replaced by digital
art. Many traditional artworks have been exhibited in museums
for hundreds of years and people go there to enjoy the
masterpiece. It shows that traditional art is still highly
appreciated. Art collectors will never lose interests in
traditional art. Above all, it can be said that the importance of
traditional art throughout history is too significant to replace.
Both traditional and digital art have their own places in society
and they will not replace each other. Adapted from:
[Link] digital-art-replace-
traditional-art/(September 13, 2022) Why do some people
argue that digital art will not replace traditional art?

Digital art is more accessible than traditional art

Traditional art is more popular than digital art in museums
People value the uniqueness and handmade qualities of
traditional art
Digital art is easier to create than traditional art
Digital art is too expensive to produce

Why Do People Hate Street Art? In recent years, street art has
emerged as a new art phenomenon, with artists like Banksy
and Shepard Fairey gaining greater acclaim and recognition in
communities all over the world. However, this controversial
practice has also provoked a lot of opposition. Alex Gardega
describes his work to be "soulless and flavorless." This street
art hate is not new. The question is: Why do people have such a
strong dislike towards the practice? Personal characteristics of
the viewer influence their evaluation of the art. In street art,
those who understand how to interpret the art and have
interest in it will have a greater appreciation for the work.
Imagine two people in a contemporary art museum. The first
person is a modern art enthusiast who has been exposed to all
different artworks and understands how to interpret the
abstract masterpieces. The other person, on the other hand,
has only been exposed to institutional art like that of
Michelangelo and Da Vinci. Between the two, the one who
knows how to interpret the art would be more receptive and
overall would have a much better experience with the
contemporary art. The dislike for street art is worsened when
people align it with graffiti. This association negatively affects
people’s opinions on street art because graffiti is often seen as
illegal writing and vandalism. However, there are major
differences between the two practices that make the illegality
arguments irrelevant. In contrast to graffiti, which destroys a
space, the purpose of street art is to reinvent and redecorate a
space. Street art adorns the urban space whereas graffiti
accelerates its decay. But, the most important distinguishing
factor between the two is the meaning and function of street
art, which can only be understood if the viewer looks both at
non-aesthetic and aesthetic components. As mentioned earlier,
traditionally in institutional art, only aesthetic features were to
be considered in the interpretation of artworks. However, street
art challenges this principle because there are so many non-
aesthetic features that are crucial to the purpose of street art.
The medium, subject matter, overall artistic appeal, and most
importantly, the context are all crucial to the deep meanings of
street artworks. I argue that many people are unsusceptible to
street art because they don’t recognize these important non-
aesthetic features. Source: Jenn Tran, "Why Do People Hate

Why Is Graffiti Bad on Communities? While some people may

see graffiti as a form of art and self-expression, it is often
controversial because it involves the unauthorized use of
someone’s property. Graffiti is also bad for communities
because there are some negative effects on communities.
Firstly, the presence of graffiti in a community can affect
property values. If people see graffiti, they may be less likely to
buy or invest in properties. Graffiti can make an area look run-
down and neglected. This can have a negative impact on the
community, as it may discourage people from taking pride in
the area. In addition, graffiti can be associated with other forms
of vandalism or criminal behavior. The presence of graffiti can
create a sense of unease and can make areas with a lot of
graffiti seem prone to criminal activity. This can create a sense
of danger and discomfort for residents and visitors. From a
practical standpoint, the clean-up and removal of graffiti can
also be costly and time-consuming for cities and property
owners. Furthermore, it can lead to a loss of the beauty of the
community. That’s why graffiti is considered bad on

How Does Mural Art Benefit Cities and Communities? Mural
artists are community helpers. Here are some ways how mural
art benefits cities and communities. Murals improve
community walls. There was a really rough and ugly wall. Now
it turned into something colorful and bright. Even the utility box
and pipes are disguised by the mural painting. The wall before
was in really bad shape. A plain coat of white paint could also
be a huge improvement, but in this case, the colors and
patterns made this drab parking lot even more beautiful and
fun for patrons to local restaurants. Also serving as a city sign,
the mural creates a warm welcome for visitors entering the city.
Public murals can make spaces feel safer. At Black Cat Alley in
Milwaukee, WI, there was painted with murals after the nearby
neighborhood alley was filled with bright and colorful murals.
The city painted the alley way to make it a safer place. Tourists
are drawn to the alley as a unique destination in the city. The
alley recently added more lights and a community garden to
make people feel happy. Mural art can make people feel happy.
Artists who have studied color theory know that certain colors
provoke different emotions. There is even a particular shade of
pink that has been proven to make a person feel angry and
even lower test scores. Cool colors like blue, green, and purple
are calming and peaceful for most people. Warm colors like
reds, yellows, and oranges are exciting, or evoke a sense of
danger. Stop signs are red to warn drivers. Certain symbols
elevate people's moods too. Many people feel happy when they
see a mural that includes flowers. Professionally trained mural
artists use their skills and resources to create designs that can
elevate your city. In conclusion, art, especially mural art, is very
important in public spaces in a number of ways. Mural art can
attract tourism because it beautifies public spaces. Public
mural art can also make spaces feel safer. Mural art can also
make people happy through the colors that the mural artist use.

herself young. She kept the flower hidden and secretly used it for hundreds of years.

Centuries passed, and a queen of a nearby kingdom became ill while expecting a child and
desperately needed the flower’s power. Desperate soldiers searched the entire kingdom for the
magical flower. Eventually, they found it, hidden beneath a bush. They harvested the flower and
made it into a drink. The queen drank the potion and recovered immediately. Soon enough, the
queen gave birth to a baby girl with beautiful and shining golden hair. The royal family named
her Rapunzel. The royal family marked the occasion by lighting a lantern to float into the sky.

Gothel, however, was not pleased. She was able to figure out that the magical power in the
flower had transferred into the baby girl. She sneaked into the castle and snuck off with
Rapunzel. Gothel raised the girl as her own and kept her in a tower hidden deep in the woods.
She never let the girl leave the tower and warned her of the dangers of the outside world. She
used the child’s hair to keep herself young. Rapunzel grew up without any idea she was a
princess. She thought Gothel was her mother. She was also unaware that her hair held magical
powers. She believed that she must never cut her hair or the power would be lost.

One day, a thief named Flynn Rider found Rapunzel’s tower while running from palace guards.
He climbed into the tower to hide. Rapunzel knocked him out with a frying pan and tied him up

with her 70-foot-long hair. When he woke up, she asked him to take her to see the lanterns that

Story: "CinderJack and the Golden Slipperstalk"

Once upon a time, in a land of muddy boots and glass slippers, there lived a boy named
CinderJack. He lived with his wicked stepbrothers who made him scrub beanpots all day. One
morning, he found a pack of magical beans in the fireplace ashes. He was about to throw them
out, but then he remembered the last time he threw something magical away, he ended up
cleaning dragon dung for a week.
 NARRATIVE TEXT: FRACTURED FAIRY TALES

So, CinderJack planted the beans. Overnight, a giant beanstalk shot up through the clouds.
Hoping for freedom (and maybe a snack), he climbed it.

At the top, he didn’t find a scary giant—but a Fairy Godmother Giantess who wore sparkly high
heels and baked pies the size of wagons. “Oh! A visitor!” she squealed. “Looking for a better
life? Or maybe a glass slipper?”

Jack blinked. “Slipper?”

The Giantess gave him a magical golden slipper and told him, “Take this to the Royal Ball
tonight. Whoever wears it will be the kingdom’s new ruler—and finally give me a break from
baking.”

Back on the ground, CinderJack snuck into the palace ball. Everyone laughed at his
soot-streaked clothes—until the golden slipper started glowing and floated onto his foot.
Trumpets blared. The prince fainted. The stepbrothers screamed. The Fairy Giantess waved
from the clouds.

And so, CinderJack ruled the kingdom, banned chores before breakfast, and built slides from
the castle tower to the gardens.

As for the beanstalk—it became the world’s first magical elevator.

> Chomp! Chomp! Oh, I'm sorry. I was just finishing my lunch. My name's Wolf—Big Bad Wolf.
You may have heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

It’s about a girl and her granny? Seems everyone has. My tail is different. Did I say tail? I meant
tale.

Once upon a time, I ran out of food. Completely. The cupboards were bare. The freezer, too. I’d
even eaten every last fruit and vegetable in the garden. Every one.

Other wolves might’ve lunched on little forest creatures: hedgehogs, bunnies, squirrels. I,
however, am a vegetarian. That’s right; I don’t eat meat. Well, I try not to. I LOVE apples. Don’t
get me started on Cox’s Orange Pippins, Bramleys. Any kind, really. Sadly, there was still a long
way to go until apple season.

I hadn’t eaten in weeks. My stomach growled and howled. It moaned and groaned. It even
roared. Then, my nose took over.

Sniff. Sniff. I took a whiff. What was it? A girl.
