Check out what our Art 3 students are up to! They’re working on their very first mural—how cool is that?! First, they had to conduct an interview for the commission on the murals. They then teamed up to discuss their ideas 💡. They even sketched out their visions and presented them to the class. After that, they voted for their favorite design. Now, Art 3 students are turning that idea into a reality! Keep your eyes peeled for an epic new mural that’ll make our school look even more awesome! 👀✨ #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
