renderings by artist, Israel Barbosa
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.
