El muralismo

In 2007 Louisa castrodale and I began the Mural Project for Palm Springs Unified School District . What was initially envisioned to be a single project housed by the Desert Hot Springs Alternative Education program became an ongoing district wide Arts Program. This effort produced over 50 murals in a time span of three years. The Murals were created in collaboration with students ranging in from middle to high school grade levels

achieved objective : produced murals through which students learned essentials in painting and drawing while simultaneously providing a forum for teacher/student mentorship and open dialogue in a safe and productive environment. As well as creating a model that encouraged student attendance and responsibility .

Special thanks to collaborating artist : Bijan Masoumpanah and Aaron Hansen .
