MY public art proposal is to have a large mural placed in the new library depicting the three St. Ed's professors who passed away earlier this year- Doctors Becker, McKemie, and Shirley. My plan is to have the project be a joint effort between students of the art school, who will paint it, and students of the respective schools in which each teacher worked. The art students will take the input of the teachers' former students and use them to show some of the characteristics and habits the teachers were known to have. An example of this is Dr. Shirley's oval glasses that most people remember him to have worn. The point of this work is to allow people to pay respect and remember these teachers, whether they knew them or not. I think it is important that their legacy lives on within our school and this would be a great way to aid in doing so.
