Mural Project

2008 Sylvania Mural Project

Now in its second year, Sylvania Art Club students, guided by faculty Art instructor Mark Smith, go from imagination to creation.  Starting with sketches and culminating in public painting during ArtBeat Week, the murals become permanent additions to the campus.  You are welcome to watch the process taking place outside the CC building, and you may even be inspired to pick up a paint brush and add to the creation.

Last Year's Project

Below is the original study for the student mural project completed during the 2007 ArtBeat week. The maze represents the path to education, the statuary represents pedagogy, and the birds represent our diverse student population. Finally, the fountain represents the attainment of knowledge:Mural Study

The finished creation, shown below, is painted on an 8 x 15 foot canvas and on permanent display in Sylvania's upper CC mall area.  Students painted this powerful work throughout ArtBeat Week:
