This study, based on the idea that the villages with wall paintings still show
up continuously and the things are happening that make added values or artistic
implications of wall painting villages rise, is to re-illuminate the several good
effects and bad effects about wall painting villages and provide an harmonious
approach by which artists and the local inhabitants can communicate each other
for more valuable and artistic developments of the wall painting villages.
Previously, walls and fences were just used as protection or barricades between in
and out of houses, however, the meanings and values of the wall paintings rise so
much as a new genre ‘art fence’ is emerging.
However, the produced paintings on the walls begin to decay after 4 or 5
years of completion in general, and according to the cases of the villages the
works are just left abandoned. Like this way, some light and shadowy issues we
have not expected are coming up in the wall painting villages. From this effect of
view, it will be very encouraging to examine the positive and negative effects that
the wall painting villages have, even for design of the future wall painting
villages. As the positive effects, the wall paintings have had influence on the local
inhabitants about their lives satisfactions, improvement of the local cultures, and
the considerations for the town reviving policies. As the negative effects, there
have been the issues of the lack of communications with the local people,
administrative operation, and not enough sustainable projects. To keep the wall
paintings which began for improving cities appearances from deteriorating into
abandoned horrid things in cities, we should rearrange the positive and negative
effects that we have mentioned in this paper.
