Abstract

Introduction:
When the hospital administration went to the Faculty of Applied Arts and another group of faculties of art asking them to work on the new annex construction of the hospital, the decoration department responded with the hospital as the specialized department of wall painting. I participated in the work with my colleague in the decoration department, lecturer Heba Zohny, and the students of the first year in the department designed and implemented the work, After they had already learned -in the first year specialization- how to design the wall painting with me in the mural painting classes.
Subject of the research:
the hospital asked us to adhere to some ideas that serve their goals in the treatment of patients and the media of the hospital, and that required creating designs to serve the objectives of the hospital.
What was different about the application of the designs is that the background was made of sheet metal, which we are not used to do in coloring. We are used to traditional walls equipped with plastic or oily coatings.
Research problem:
First: how students express the goals of the hospital with expressive designs indirectly, but convey the meaning and purpose required.
Second: How the students manage on their first experience in wall painting with customer requests and natural sizes and using raw materials rarely dealt with. Artist are used to using oil, acrylic and plastic in the implementation of murals, in this case, the sheet was the basic material to which the designs would be applied.
Third: how to combine the different designs and methods of the students on a single wall, knowing that there are four colleges participating in the event, namely: Applied Arts, Helwan University; Applied Arts, University of Benha; Art Education in Menia; and finally Art Education, Helwan University.
To solve this problem, the research suggested these coming points to find the solutions:
 
 
The research hypotheses:
1 -The possibility of expressing strongly and clearly with the objectives of the hospital, which are all related to the psychological state of patients who are sensitive by nature of being children, and reflect the hospital’s other goals of honoring and appreciating of people and entities cooperating with them.
2 -The possibility of combining all the works of art of the four colleges participating in the project despite the differences of subjects and techniques in the treatment.
3 –Using colors that suit the nature of the fence which can withstand the weather conditions, including the sun and dust.
Limitations of the research:
the sheets of the wall surrounding the construction work of the new 57357 hospital annex, for the summer vacation of the academic year 2016 - 2017, and the summer training material of the first academic year in the decoration department.
Research Methodology:
1- A case study on the implementation of the practical training project (for the first grade of the decoration department), through the philosophical aspects of the idea of achieving the design requirement, based on the current situation of the background of the sheet with specific dimensions.
2 - A study to develop design and selection and the work of color touches that meet the requirements of the hospital in terms of subjects confirmed by the study in the assumptions.
3- The executive plan of the administration.
4- Results and Recommendations.
