Here are photos from the dedication of a mural I lead at Urban Assembly for Music and Art HS in Brooklyn. It was a three day project involving parents and teens to design a "family animal totem", a symbol inspired by animal imagery in ancient and indigenous art.
While I streamlined the designs, and adapted them to stencil format, all the designs came from the participants' drawings. Everyone showed remarkable creativity and elegance in creating these graphic images composed of two or more symbolic animals.
This mural is composed of 16 canvases stenciled with totems designed by the paricipants above. Special thanks to Katherine Gressel, Principal Paul Thompson, all the parents, students and everyone at Groundswell Community Mural Project.
