This mural highlights the four people the school has chosen as emblems for each house. Based on student research and input, the qualities of these leaders are on display as goals for students to emulate. As the mural will be in the auditorium, a common space for students of all ages, the design is bright, succinct, and accessible. The portrait-centric design comes from students’ ideas from the very first design session. This group in particular returned to text often in our sessions, and I wanted to reflect that in the mural, even though I often stay away from text in my designs. The color palette, text, and pattern elements came from students.
