This theme of the mural was based on the school’s core values and mascot. “Rockin Robin” (Respect, Ownership, Curiosity, Kindness, Integrity, Never Give Up.” Each core values was assigned to one of 5 colors of the rainbow. Purple (Never Give Up), blue (Integrity), yellow (Curiosity), orange (Ownership) and red (Respect).
Teaching artist Jodi Dareal and Program Manager Ayana Ayo led the students (Grades 1-5) for the first few weeks creating artwork related to each of their core values. From there, our artists selected some of their ideas and designed a colorful mural that represented the diversity of their student body as well as their common interests. The background was inspired by some of their favorite video games (i.e. Minecraft and Roblox).
