We had this little idea back in October...well, it came to fruition today at the Community Mural Paint Day! This was the first SKYPE artist/community residency done in Howard County. Howard County Arts council loved the idea of DLES Skyping famous artist and illustrator Rafael Lopez. His children's book "Maybe something Beautiful" How Art Transformed a Neighborhood, became a starting point as we developed ideas for this project. Rafael's skypes were insightful as students learned about simplifying images and mural design by seeing up close and personal his artist studio and process. 3rd graders were asked...What images provide HOPE for you at Ducketts Lane. Students voices were heard as they developed the imagery for this mural. Their voices were heard loud and clear as hundreds of students came to put their mark on the mural today. I am thankful to work with admin, teachers and students for having belief in this project. Thanks to neighboring art teachers, classroom teachers, businesses, my family, middle school and high school students for volunteering. It was evident today to all who attended, the Arts do in fact bring people together!
