The theme of the mural is “talent” and is displated in the arts wing of the school, where the visual arts studio, dance studio, music room, etc. are located. When asked what talent means to them, the students overall said it means being great at something, having a natural impressive skill, a gift,a way of expressing oneself through different art forms. Talent to them is synonymous with ART. Since it’s a wide theme, they decided to focus on the visual arts (drawing, painting, crafting), and performing arts, music and dancing. By word association, they connected art with creativity, beauty, emotions, colors and patterns. The latter in turn lead them to cultures and diversity. Other themes portrayed in the mural include diversity, Kindness and respect.
