PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This mural for PS 506 focuses on the ideas of global community, technology and journalism. The mural design references a motherboard or circuit board, representing connectivity and the many parts that make up the whole. Inside images of squares and circles, children are represented reading newspapers, writing/drawing, and reaching new heights. Highlighted in the composition are some of the drawings created by the students in the design phase of the project. Imagery of organic plant life symbolizes abundance, growth and harmony with the living environment in an urban landscape.
