Reflections so far...

I've been reviewing the postings so far, seeing the progress of the process, the development of the aesthetic and the expanding involvement beyond the students... - I notice that each step is a communal effort, and with everyone's enthusiasm, participation and support it is evolving into the wonderfully vital educational project that we had envisioned. This blog is meant to lend some perspective, but it is difficult if not impossible to document all the hours and energy committed by the school, its teachers and students, Karen Brown, resident artist, and the resources of the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian. I invite more people to share their comments about their experiences, inside the classroom and out - we want this mural to uplift the entire school, community, and those that are yet to be a part of the ongoing process. More later....DS
