The Mural WALL:
Many remarks have been said throughout our halls the past few days about
the removal of the Belfast Garden Mural….. We wanted communicate the various
reasons why the decision was made. The art piece had begun to fall off
the wall, the art piece was more than 10 years old and we needed a space to showcase student current art pieces.
Next month the entire student body will
be working on a collaborative art piece. Students will come up with ideas
about “Let the artist in me fly fee….” They will be exploring what this quote
means to them and will come up with a symbol or a drawing to represent their
ideas. We
are so excited to see what we know will be a unique and amazing piece of
art.
