I am joining in with Sami and others for Monday Mural.
Oh, these were taken back in 2022. They are getting stale. I took them when they adorned what is now known as Melbourne Polytechnic. In its former lives it was known as Prahran TAFE and maybe back in its past, Prahran Technical College, Prahran Tech.
Some of the school building is very old and has a lot of history. But this is about murals. None stand out for me, but publishing them is a deck cleared. They are seriously large and quite high up, perhaps a little faded over time.

Murals are a lovely way of brightening up otherwise dull spaces. One of our local schools has indigenous art work on its outside walls. I must remember to photograph it.
ReplyDeleteI have yet seen these murals before. They look delicate without being tagged
ReplyDeleteI love the second one. So striking.
ReplyDelete2022? I find them worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteThe middle one - gum leaves kookaburra- has a touch of May Gibbs about it.
ReplyDeleteChapel Street, not far from my home, is an arty part of Melbourne. So external decoration suits the TAFE's role well.

ReplyDeleteI like them, the middle one especially is nice to look at.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous,m and so large, too. But that third one says something to me, the colors, I think.
ReplyDeleteThey look ok, as you say a bit faded.
ReplyDeleteThank you 👍🏽
ReplyDeleteArt can be anyplace
ReplyDeleteLove the second mural with the birds. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours of the first two, and particularly like the second mural.
ReplyDeleteSorry. But they do not grab me. My apologies to the muralists responsible for this average artistry.
ReplyDeleteThe last one seems almost a nod to aboriginal art, doesn't it? The geometrics of it. The first one alludes to colonialism, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same as Debby. Thanks for sharing. Be well!
ReplyDeleteThey might be old but they're really nice murals. I think the second is my favorite.
