Blogging about the Blog

I have now made it a point to update this with more work on a steady and constant basis. After finishing a mural it is important to take the time to create more personal work. 
In these next days I will be posting some of my work on new mediums; such as, tee shirts, poster prints and other forms.

Mural designed and produced by students at Beach High and over 40 student volunteers.

Beach High Mural Dedication

I would like to invite you to the dedication of a mural I have been part of, as an instructor. The Beach High School Mural is a youth designed and produced project from start to finish. 

Students took a concept and created a design that best represents their school. 

Prior to the commencement of the mural, youth artists attended workshops to develop skills and ideas toward the goal of designing their own mural.

Over the course of 5 weeks, 40 student volunteers participated in the production of the mural. The 6 lead student artists involved from the beginning of the project have shown dramatic improvement in their attendance and ability to work as a team.

Sponsorship for the mural is made possible by Long Beach G.R.I.P. Project , Long Beach Unified School District, and the Cultural Alliance of Long Beach

Mural Dedication is Friday, May 25 at 11 A.M. on the Beach High School Campus
