Middle School Paint Class Creates Mural
Monday, May 14, 2012 at 2:55PM Ms. Strauss' middle school painting class paint the temporary construction wall where the new elevator is being installed.
Using California artist Jim Dine as inspiration, especially several of his pieces—Lawn Mower (1962), Child’s Blue Wall (1962) and Imogen III (1971)—students worked out a composition to cover a large 12x10-foot wall.
“The students collaborated extremely well and brought to the mural techniques of stamping, masking, brushwork, and blending wet on wet,” said art teacher Tilly Strauss. “The three sections of the mural move from sculptural to trompe'loel, all the while celebrating the love of paint and the expressive qualities of color.”
Dominic Benitez, Noah Sprosty, Alissa Dobrinsky, Ashely Reid, Natalia Londono, Sabrina Silva and Sheridan Posschelle pained the mural.
