• Changing Minds and How We See Black History Wall Murals!

  Funded Feb 23, 2021

  To begin with, I'd like to tell you what a blessing you are for giving towards this project and making this experience possible. You are awesome!! My students really pushed the envelope on this one, and as expected, the ideals and stories behind the men and women portrayed in their wall murals led them to embrace diversity and the cultural significance it plays in our daily lives.

  I personally saw my students mature in a blink of an eye, and as they began connecting their art with the likenesses of these famous individuals, you could tell they were working on a more intimate and personal level. Not only were they introduced to the art of mural portraiture paintings using the matrix grid technique, but they also came together to make some beautiful art as well!!

  So again, it was because of you and your dedication to the enrichment of our children's education, that this project was made possible. Throughout the month of Feb. these wall murals hung throughout our school, up and down hallways, inside the cafeteria and even in the gymnasium. Numerous parents, guests, central office personnel, etc. when visiting our school had great things to say about them and the way our school teaches and embraces diversity throughout was a common pleasure to see. So, you can imagine that especially in times like that how proud I was of my students and how honored I am to teach these meaningful and inspiring visual arts "life" lessons.”
