Project Description
Through a partnership with IS 291 in Brooklyn, Groundswell organized the creation of a mural for the ground floor of the school based on the theme of “Journey to Success.” In collaboration with the school’s afterschool program, students worked together with Groundswell artists to create original symbols of the words “success” and “journey.” The final mural design illustrates educational opportunities and obstacles. A pigeon serves as the mural’s protagonist, moving through life’s challenges toward success.
Fun Facts
In keeping with the mural’s theme, the artists and students had to overcome the unusual obstacle of painting on school lockers.
The entire process was completed over the course of nine afterschool sessions.
