These designs were developed by students from Jeff Davis High School with the guidance of, public artists, Reginald Adams and Israel Barbosa.  Since Sept. 10, 2001, Adams and Barbosa have worked with approximately 25 students from Davis High School to develop a mural project for the school and the community.  During numerous 1 1/2 hour workshops, three days per week, Adams and Barbosa lead the students in dialogue about a mural design that will reflect the students most important concerns: Family, Culture, Communication and Education.  The design above is the result of over 36 hours of planning, brainstorming, research, and drawing.  We are now at the most critical point in the mural process and that is transferring the design to the actual wall and the painting process.

The mural is being painted on the exterior wall of the school's gymnasium, overlooking the football field, walking track and Quitman, a well travelled street in the Near North Main community.  The total dimensions for the mural is 100' x 20', totalling 2,000 square feet.  We  began painting the mural by the first week in November and we are expected to complete the mural by mid December.

Special thanks so far to Lindale Park Civic Club, the Cultural Arts Council of Houston/Harris County, Keep Houston Beautiful, Project GRAD, Monarch Paint, HISD, State Rep. Jessica Farrar, Diana Balderas Realty, Laurie Bricker and the wonderful team of teachers, staff and students for their generous support of this community mural Project.
