Key for Students

I also created a grid and key so the students and faculty could easily find their portrait in the collage.

The Birney School

I installed the mural today with the help of Dave Grey. I think the students will be surprised to see it up when they return to school next week. It really turned out great and it fits perfectly between these 2 doors.

Great Students

I have worked in several Elementary Schools in Philadelphia and by far Birney Elementary has been one of my favorites. I will be returning to install the mural hopefully in August.

Geometric Pattern

Once the triangles were finished, the students helped me place the triangles and finish painting the remaining mural.

General David B. Birney Elementary School

While assisting Eric Okdeh on a mural at 9th and Lindley Ave., the neighboring Elementary school became interested in participating in some way in the Mural. Since the mural was close to completion I designed a small mural that the students could complete in one workshop and display in their school. A few days before the workshop we gave the students a tour of the mural, and I shot pictures of the students who were interested in painting a mural. For the design I took triangular sections of students faces to collage in geometric patterns. Each student got to paint their own portrait section.
