Mural Project

1. For a mural project here at school I would love to create a mural with the theme of education through activities outside of in-class "textbook" learning. Capture photos of students enjoying themselves and learning through the activities that they are most interested in, whether that be sports, clubs,  science labs, etc. I think it'd be nice to also incorporate it with events such as pep rallies, volleyball games, and spirit days in order to remind students that look at the mural that there are ways to become educated and create experiences in school without being constantly stressed. For out of school I really like the idea of capturing the good kind of weirdness that lies in Austin and how it shapes the people that live here. There are a lot of beautiful places and events that take place in Austin that might seem out of the norm for people who live out of the city, but to capture this and put it on display would be a great way to show everyone how much Austin citizens love to embrace being different.
2. I think using just cell phones is a great way to show how the world is changing and might be more welcoming to younger people, but I think it'd be best to open up to regular cameras as well so everyone can be equally involved in the mural's creation.
3. I think the mural should be placed somewhere that everyone can see it but not a place that is over distracting. I think it's really nice when groups or clubs hang it by the stairs because it definitely grabs the attention of lots of students. However not everyone will go down those stairs, so it might be a better idea to put it by the library because every student has to enter the academic building at least once.
