School Projects

This mural in the Yellow hallway of Henry Clay was designed by a different club and recreated by the art club. On a blue background, chalk was used to outline everything, which laid out the plan to create the mural. Over the course of several months, it was finished spring 2012 by the art club. The mural is to represent a "sense of place;" it has every club in the school represented in a certain way. My contribution was some parts of the outlining and painting of things such as the sports section and the plants at the bottom.

The blue devil (HC mascot) is taking the place of Atlas, and holding a  political map of the world. This was done after many students had asked administration about the flags in the foyer of our school, wondering why some countries weren't represented. As a result, the Spanish Club decided to create a sculpture in which over the years, more countries could be pinned onto the wood, with a plaque that goes along to list the countries our students are from. First, an ellipse was drawn, and the devil was added. Later, I free-handed the countries due to some difficulties of tracing them on there, and the Spanish Club painted layers upon layers onto the board in order to have a more refined look. The project was finished Spring 2012
