Project Description
"Band Room Mural" features a blend of jazzy musical imagery and Brooklyn iconography. It is a celebration of music appreciation, created for a new band room at Brooklyn High School of the Arts (BHSA). Fourteen students contributed to the creation of the mural, which conveys how greatly music is woven into New York culture. The mural features two large-scale young musicians set against a Brooklyn skyline featuring the Williamsburg Savings Bank Clock Tower. Buildings in the far background take the shape of instruments. The group created numerous drawings related to music and iconic Brooklyn imagery, which were then woven into one cohesive design by the Lead Artist Conor McGrady. Students learned about color, mood, composition, and how to work on a large scale. When the mural was completed, BHSA hosted an official dedication with much of the school in attendance to appreciate the life brought to their new band room.
