Saying it with a painting




Our visiting Costa Rican students jumped at the invitation to paint a mural outside our library. Working from a quickly brainstormed sketch, they quickly got under way. I played facilitator providing them with paints, brushes, document camera, and images that they requested. They provided the startling imagination, attention to detail, and teamwork to pull it off in under three days.

As their work progressed, I took a series of photographs and kept a projected slide show going in the library to update their work for all to see. In return, their gift photo of the Arenal Volcano will reside in our library!
