Learning about Murals
In a virtual visit with ArtWorks, Unit III students learned about the process, design, materials used, and meaning behind many of ArtWorks’ murals. The visit was part of Unit III’s study of murals, which culminated in them making their own mural called “Persons of Impact” in the Unit III hallway in Jones Hall, said art teacher Kacey Watkins. For the mural, each student wrote an essay and painted a portrait of an impactful person in history. They also selected a quote by the person to be included on the portrait.
