Walking fast, Faces Past.

This is the first half of the huge mural.
 

The rest of it.
 

This mural is painted by Nicholas Orsini, in 1986. He was a professor of art at scsu.
According to the plank, "This mural represents stages in human development from left to right. The emergence of life from the sea, the discovery of microbiology, the exploration of space and botanical & biological forms depicted are true representations of actual forms." It's in Jennings Hall.

Yes, I did pick the most noticable art piece in SCSU. I don't really notice art but I do remember seeing this when we went on a mini tour in Jenings, when it was orientation, to show us where our future classes would be. Now me, I havent been the artsy type and try to look deeper into pictures, to me this picture is people scubadiving under water either, discovering or fighting plenty of fungi and coral trees, and etc. I like actually like the picture though because it captures your attention as soon as you pass by, just with astounding colors. Now personally yet again, I dont really see stages of human development. Stages of human development are related to embryos to babies to infants and so on and so forth, now I don't really see any sort of  human babies in this pictures, maybe a hermit crab or something but it doesn't really have a correlation to the sea life. This is why I don't like art very much, everything tries to be so complicated when it is simple. -___-
 Since my views on art are pretty biased I don't really understand the purpose of this painting, sure it's a great contriubution to Jennings, the Science & Art classes but i would love to meet someone that says this painting helps me get through the day. If i say so myself, this picture is pretty creepy if you keep staring at it long enough!
