Boston Perspectives (Collaboration)
Painting
My students and I created a mural from a diverse series of photographs we took in Boston over the course of a three-week ESL summer program. We've included (clockwise from top left) the "Tortoise and Hare" statues in Copley Square (Nancy Schon), a scenic landscape from Castle Island, "Dante and Virgil" (Baron Henri de Triqueti) at the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Massachusetts State House on Beacon Street. We thought the two statues and two buildings balance each other very well to represent the diversity and accessibility of Boston itself. Boston is a great place to compare Nature vs. Mankind, Tradition vs. Innovation, Ephemerality vs. Permanence. Plus, there's just, all kinds of really cool stuff to do here!
