In this article, the author describes murals as visual storytelling. In times before most people could read or write, pictures were used to tell stories and to teach people. Visual storytelling is most often seen in the form of drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, quilts, stained-glass windows, and murals. The concept of visual storytelling can be traced as far back as 20,000 years ago when cave dwellers communicated ideas by painting images on cave walls. In the authors school, the after-school art club had a mission to tell a chronological story of historical events. Before the project began, students needed to research fundamental background information about murals. The author presented a slide chronology of cave painters; Egyptian tomb paintings; Greek murals/the Mexican mural artist, Diego Rivera; and works by Thomas Hart Benton and contemporary muralist Judith Baca. This article describes this project in detail.
