A work in progress: Freedom’s Mural

Freedom is transforming into its very own museum. Everybody who has ever walked through that hallway between the gym and the auditorium has seen the black, gray, and white wall. At first glance it may seem as if the art league just started a project and forgot it, but Mr. Short has big plans for this hallway. He’s going to turn it into an art gallery, Freedom style. Anyone who has walked around the school has seen all the artwork hanging on the walls. The hallway is soon going to take the place of all of this. The art league is planning on touching up all the black and white paint, then either late this year, or starting early next year, all the artwork created by the students in both the art classes and Art League will be hung up. In order to give the art gallery a more museum-like atmosphere, some light fixtures and red frames may be put up; of course, all of this is in the planning stage as of now, and nothing is set in stone. The idea to transform the hallway into an art gallery was thought of by none other than Mr. Campos. The art gallery will give the students who worked so hard on their art a chance to have a place to officially show it off. The art gallery will be available to any student who is in an art class or Art League, but it was all Art League students who helped paint the black, gray, and white mural. The wall was personally painted with the help from Kayla Sandala, Tyler Davidson, Sylvia Blake, David Kiefer, Tony Dambach, Alana Alderette, Lauren Barrett, Jeremy Herzog, and a few others. Mr. Short helped with it too, of course. So anyone who has a passion for art, or just a passion for looking at art, should keep their eyes open for the art gallery next year. For anyone who is interested in seeing another one of Mr. Short’s murals, he is creating one for Project Graduation. It will be 40 feet long, and will feature a calming boat scene. Make sure to check out the explosion of new artwork in the coming months.
