Friendship Academy Students Show Creativity By means of Murals

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) July 04, 2013

Regional Pittsburgh artist Alison Zapata spent a number of weeks with students at The Watson Institute Friendship Academy generating a series of murals depicting Pittsburgh scenes and icons. The final results of their efforts are six murals that will adorn the hallways of the college in Pittsburghs Friendship neighborhood for many years to come.

Alison brainstormed suggestions with groups of students responsible for each and every mural. As the respective themes for each mural came together, Alison guided the students via the procedure to turn their visions into reality. Murals depicted renowned musicians, sports figures and other dignitaries from Pittsburgh, as nicely as Pittsburghs popular skyline and rivers.

The students came together with several suggestions to form a single collective voice via visual art mentioned Alison. The procedure of immersion in the arts designed an atmosphere in which the students were able to transform from the person to a team. Their voice, achievement, and gift of sharing will be on show for years to come. I was moved by their enthusiasm and persistence to achieve.
