At Lafayette Elementary School, the question wasn’t simply “What should this mural look like?” It was something deeper. What brings you to life? What does that feeling look like when you put it on paper?
Local artist Shauna Yorty has been selected as part of the Neighborhood Art Project, a City of Lancaster, PA initiative designed to bring public art into Lancaster’s neighborhoods and center the voices of the people who live there. Her next canvas will be Rodney Park, but the vision behind it is already taking shape inside our classrooms.
Working alongside art teacher Wesley Blymire, students are exploring how to translate emotion into visual expression. Not literal drawings of moments, but the feeling behind them. When the mural is complete, students will be able to stand in front of it and recognize a part of themselves.
Every sketch, every concept, every contribution matters. All submitted designs will be featured this June at the Lancaster Amtrak Station, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind the final mural. From there, Yorty will bring those ideas together into one cohesive design, with installation planned for July and a community unveiling to follow in August.
Can't wait to see the final product! Read the full story on our website, link in the comments.
