So we should consider ourselves lucky to be associated with a group of artists known as SOSIC thats (soho street ink collective). These artists consist of Nobody (TMNK), 2esae, AVone, SKI, and P.Wayne. This group of artists can be found each weekend in soho on Prince St. between Wooster and Greene selling their work. So I'll say it again, we are very fortunate that these full time artists took the time out of their busy schedules to "doodle" on our background. THANK YOU SOSIC =D.
So it is now the week known as Spring Break for the kids and I feel like we have hit the mid-point. big sigh... it IS difficult to be working on the same project for such a long time, but since painting the tree, the kids have really been great about it. I have the mural propped up in the front of the classroom and once in a while a random teacher / students will come in and say "Wow, I had to come in and see what this is all about because it just stopped me in my tracks." I think this makes the students feel really good about it and the fact that they are able to speak about it to an outsider also gives them a sense of pride.
I would also like to remind you in my lonely voice, because I am really not certain that anyone reads this... that this "Peace Mural" will be exchanged with one in Ghana, Africa which is also being created as we speak. Much thanks to for this great BIG idea. What an idea! Onward...........
