Yesterday was our last day of work on the mural. Kristin Helberg our artist in residence has been at Harlem Park for the past month working with the eighth grade on the mural and team teaching other grades with Morag. In addition to creating this communal art work students used the sketches from their mural contributions as a basis for individual miniature paintings. It was sad to come to the end of this year's projects with Kristin, the students have a great relationship with her and learn a lot from working with a professional artist. We celebrated with mango lassi and presented Kristin with an umbrella decorated with sari clad dancing ladies.
this exprience will be a great memory

In this mural I see a lot of influence from the Garden & Cosmos exhibition that was at the Sackler some months back. Did the students come to see it? Did a docent give you a tour? I gave many tours of that show - it was absolutely fantastic!!
