Ally Wilson was a student 25 years ago when Amy Valens was the Open art teacher. Amy put out a call to the Open Classroom community: Come make a tile for a mural to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the program. Students like Ally made tiles on three different themes: textures, something about our school, or hands. Alumni came on a series of Saturdays to do the same thing. The mural has lost a couple of tiles, but mainly it has stood the test of time. Now it is Open art teacher Kristy Arroyo’s turn to shepherd the creation of a second section of the mural to be unveiled at the 50th Anniversary gathering May 14th! Photos of the process designing the mural in 1996 are posted under the Clay and Play Day photos here: http://lagunitasopenclassroom.com/photo-albums/
