[|Street Art Project]: Design a mural for your neighborhood. // You have been commissioned by the Mural Arts Program to design a mural for your neighborhood. You must identify an appropriate location for the mural and design it. The mural must capture the essence of your community (the history, the people who live there, the vibe, the culture etc). // // Write 500 word “caption” explaining the significance of your work. Post your project on SLA blog to share with other schools. //
