Deciding on the research paper topic wasn't hard at all. I had gone on tour in the New England area with my a cappella group during Christmas break, and one of the cities I was most fascinated with was Philadelphia. Though I only got to spend a couple of hours there I thought it was amazing. I was in awe of just how many murals they had. Every corner I turned there was another HUGE mural. I love exploring cities and photographing murals so this was such a thrill for me.
When I heard that we got to choose the topic of our final research project I knew I wanted to look into the Philadelphia Mural Arts project. I already had some pictures so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about any copyright infringements. It is a topic I am passionate about therefore I knew it would be a good topic to do a paper on.
