High School Art Club Installs Chalk Mural at the Van Aken District
October 8, 2018—Over the weekend, members of the Shaker Heights High School Art Club installed a beautiful chalk mural at the Van Aken District, just west of Tuttle Road. Each member of the club sketched a drawing visualizing imagery based on the prompt "My heart sings when… ." After individual sketches were complete, the Art Club members voted on the design they felt would best fit the site. The voted to install freshman Jana Chow's design.
Jana says that her design was inspired by music. “When I think of music, I think of nature,” she explained. “For me, music can express a lot of feelings.” This was the first time any of Jana’s art has been shown in public. “I’m usually pretty shy about my art, but I feel really good about this one.”
You can see the chalk design until Friday, October 12, when it will be cleaned for High School Drawing Teacher Ms. Walter’s class to install their design. Community members can add to this chalk design to make it truly an interactive experience for the community. Stop by and see the design this week!
