Gaines Students Create Mural at UGA

A  six-by-seven-foot mural by local elementary school students now brightens a third floor wall of Aderhold Hall in the University of Georgia College of Education. It's there because of a collaborative effort by a group of UGA art education students.

The mural,  “Shaping our World,” shows the relationships between humans, animals and the environment. It was installed between the college’s Reading and School Psychology clinics. Now, as children and their families attend the clinics, they will be welcomed by the art of local students.

The project was directed by Lauren Kucera, an adjunct instructor, and James Woglom, a doctoral student in art education. They were teaching a UGA art education class spring semester. They worked with students in the Gaines Elementary Afterschool Program.
