We recently read an inspiring photo essay called, "Talking Walls." It showed
how murals artistically express themes such as liberty, reaching for
your dreams, cultural heritage, and various emotions. Students were
assigned to groups who each chose a theme, as well as a way to express
that theme artistically. Students also chose different mediums such as paint, chalk, and marker, and wrote their own captions. Look for our murals hanging in the 3rd grade
halls!
