Let The Art Speak For Itself

This Art piece I will title it “Human Development”. You can find this piece of art (mural) in the hallway that connects Jennings to Morrill. I noticed this piece of art every time I walk to class on Monday and Wednesday. Its very illusion and trippy. This mural was painted in 1986 by Nicholas Orsini, the professor of art at Southern Connecticut State University. It is a really big mural that takes up the whole entire hallway. I love this mural I think it is really eye catching and the colors attract my attention more. Every time I walked past this mural I didn’t know what it stood for. From a guess I would think it had to do with science since is has astronauts, an eyeball, plants, underwater plants and which I would say aliens. I would also say this mural was painted by an art class of a bunch of students rather than just one person, Orsini. But the true meaning is that it represents stages of human development. This mural shows from left to right, beginning with the emergence of life from the sea, then the discovery of microbiology, next with the exploration of space, after that the botanical and biological forms depicted, and last but not least the true representation of actual portal. But after finding out the means of what it stands for I wish I can ask the artist what made him paints about the stages of human development? If I could take a guess I would probably say since this mural leads into Jennings, which is a science based building, then it would have to deal with that but in the end this is still all assumptions, It would just be cool to know his ideals and how he came up with such an attracting mural.
