Monday Mural: heart and mind

This is a section of a larger mural found on E. 7th St. Near Fruitvale Avenue.  It was recently done by students at Arise High School under the guidance of the Community Rejuvenation Project.  CRP is the organization behind many of Oakland's murals.
Many of Oakland's well known muralists help students design and execute these murals.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  You get to decide what constitutes a mural.  Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Can't wait to see the mural finds posted this week.

  10. I like the symbolism of the illustrations in the first photo. But with or without symbols or meanings, the murals are just so colorful and wonderful to look at! Manila desperately needs a project like your Community Rejuvenation Project.
