For my capstone, I am creating a mural in the gymnasium not only for the student athletes, but for the audience and supporters of SLA. When I thought about this, I realized that there isn’t really anything on our side of the gym that makes us stand out as a school. The colors on the wall don’t even match our school. I have a passion for art but I could never really partake in this in high school because I was always active in the sports community. To me, this capstone meant that I could do something I love, which is art, and somehow incorporate sports and SLA life in a mural. The main goal of this capstone is supposed to lift school spirit and acknowledge the sports at SLA. As a student athlete myself, especially when I used to play basketball I noticed that we do have a mascot however, it was never used at one of our games. For the four years I have attended SLA I noticed that I have only seen someone in that mascot under a dozen times. I wanted my mural to also have aspects in it that differentiate SLA from other schools. I wanted a basic design that has a meaning and will last for a long time. We call home games in our gym, and I wanted to make it distinct that this is SLA’s home. We are a very creative unique school and I thought that it would be a very SLA thing to create while representing our school.
