All the designs
above were created by students in the Computer Animation program at
King Middle School.
Teacher Kirk Palayan explains, "I asked my students to think of ideas, messages, feelings and
emotions they felt were important and to make a design based on what was important to them."
Once the winning design is approved by the City, King students, under the guidance of a
professional artist, will paint the "Soar" mural on the western wall of the Myra Ave. underpass.
