Kids on A Bicycle

  A little too young to be riding a bike

  But nonetheless, the whole creation just seem to fit the setting of the old building

  Curiosity and interest among motorists & tourists

Old motorbike was installed on a wall and an unused door with a painting of

a boy seated on the bike.

•  First Impression: Naughty boy • Non-verbal message (Facial Expression): From the face of the boy, we know that he is scared of something • Public Communication: Uses the real motorcycle as a part of the mural art (realistic feeling) •Passive Perception: We understand that the boy is riding a motorcycle without a license • Selective Attention Boy turned back instead of looking in front

  Their expressions are filled with joy, strong bonding

  Back in the old days, riding a bicycle can filled us with enjoyment but it has now been abandoned and replaced by

technology such as mobile phone.
