Student Artists Create Mural for English Department

Over the past ten years, several student artists at Oak Lawn Community High School have beautified the hallways with their art. Last school year the Visual Arts Club decided to pair paintings with disciplines throughout the school. Ultimately, the club plans to have a mural highlighting each subject in the school. The first subject to receive this gift of a mural is the English department. The mural, located outside of Office 20, is a rendition of Van Gogh’s Starry Night and was created by alumnae Becky Mackowiak, Yara Ismail, Jannah Mahmoud, Maria McLaughlin and various students in Visual Arts Club. This school year, club members added quotes from several pieces of literature to customize it to the discipline of English. This is the eighth mural created by Spartan artists. Stay tuned for murals to showcase other disciplines.
