Back in Session 1, Imani’s middle school art class began working on an amazing mural project that they completed this spring. In the early days of the project, they learned about public art and got used to collaborating on creative projects. Their canvas (aka the back stairwell) really started to transform in Session 5 as they completed their paintings. Just before the end of the school year, they added the crucial final touch to their work, their signatures. “By signing their mural, students leave their mark and become part of its story and legacy for years to come,” Imani explains. “It also creates a lasting record of the students who brought their artwork to life, fostering a sense of pride, ownership, and connection to the school community.”
The murals are beautiful! So beautiful that we are repainting the steps and trim this summer to give the artwork a more fitting gallery.
