TL;DR: This article argued that the library's modern architecture and its figurative, Christocentric mural visualized the University of Notre Dame's ambition to become a great American university without leaving its Catholic iden...
Abstract: “Touchdown Jesus,” the well-known moniker of the enormous mural of Christ on the University of Notre Dame's skyscraper library, defines the University of Notre Dame in the popular imagination, wittily uniting the university's famed football tradition with its Catholic identity. Yet the original intention of the 1964 mural, formally titled The Word of Life, and its library had little to do with football. Instead, the library and mural were part of President Theodore M. Hesburgh's program to raise Notre Dame's national reputation as a modern research university. The library and mural embodied reforms then underway at the Second Vatican Council, whose support of academic freedom allowed Catholic universities to strive toward the intellectual standards of their secular counterparts. This article argues that the library's modern architecture and its figurative, Christocentric mural visualized the University of Notre Dame's ambition to become a great American university without leaving its Catholic iden...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the method of conserving bracket murals in Daeungjeon of Jikjisa Temple through the scientific way, and evaluated the conservation status at the braket mural paintings, most serious damage is structural damage like cracks, breakage, and delamination.
Abstract: This report does studied for making the method of conserving bracket murals in Daeungjeon of Jikjisa Temple, through the scientific way. Results of evaluated the conservation status at the braket mural paintings, most serious damage is structural damage like cracks, breakage, and delamination. After optical investigation, a characteristic point wasn't found such as underdrawing or traces of a coat of paint. The ultrasonic examination speed by each wall painting was measured from about 195.8 m/s to 392.7 m/s, according to the location of the surface, and it was able to compare the surface properties according to the location. In Infrared-thermal image measurement shows that wall layer separation and paint layer delamination are closely detected, therefore it was able to judge of damage on the objective way. Material analysis revealed that the walls were made by sand and weathering soil. The wall layer combined sand with less than fine sand size by nearly 5:5, and the finishing layer was found to have mixed medium sand and fine sand at approximately 6:4 rates. However, In case of finishing layer, mixing ratios of sizes less than very fine sand were found to be significantly lower than wall. 108 | 보존과학회지 Vol.34, No.2, 2018 Therefore, it is estimated that the plysical damage such as the separation between the layers of the walls created in the braket mural paintings, is continuously caused by changes in the internal stresses and volume ratio caused by the density differences between the wall and the finishing layers.

TL;DR: Interactive wall art is a game to be played indoors by one or more children as discussed by the authors, which encourages creative role play and physical exercise including pitching, throwing, kicking, running and jumping.
Abstract: Interactive wall art is a game to be played indoors by one or more children. The game consists of a self-adhesive mural portraying characters playing an action sport, a loop-threaded stuffed ball corresponding to the sport portrayed in the mural, and a hook-threaded fabric target attached to the mural in an appropriate location to facilitate the fantasy of actually playing a game with the figures on the wall mural. The game encourages creative role play and physical exercise including pitching, throwing, kicking, running and jumping.
