The writing's on the wall....

After two goes at designing the Ogden Project mural, we have a winner: a 100-foot panorama featuring two architectural elements: The 87th St walking bridge and a boy fishing off of the bridge at left, the Burnt Bridge Creek trestle at right, and in between a running stream, with trees, mountains, and wildlife such as an eagle soaring overhead, mallards flapping down below, raccoons and otters mid meal, salmon jumping from the stream, coyotes, and a big Great Blue Heron to boot. This ambitious, realism-based design was chosen by the fifth grade class at Ogden, and now the process of getting it on the wall begins!How appropriate is it that the eagle appears to be soaring over the chainlink fence? Hoping these flimsy signs will soften the hearts of would be taggers who keep muddling my primer!C'mon guys, do it (or don't do it) for the kids!
