Project Description
“Education Is Our Right” focuses on an individual’s right to higher learning. A mural team of students from Park Slope Collegiate High School investigated individual and societal perspectives on access to higher education. The group’s ideas were sharpened and refined only after extensive research, which included interviews with school officials, college professors, and their own peers. The teen artists then created a unique visual language, inspired by a board game theme, to illustrate the steps that must be taken in order to get the most out of a system that is not always fair. Although inequalities are addressed, the mural also offers encouragement with messages like, “Study Hard,” “Seek Guidance,” and “Knowledge is something no one can take from you.” This visual encouragement to seek higher learning sends a powerful message to all students of Park Slope Collegiate High School.
