CELEBRATING LEARNING:
SWIFT SCHOOL MURAL

With the help of the students and Art teacher Mrs Lynn Kaplin, Paint Love was able to create a vision that brought new life to the walls at Swift School. Swift School is a private, independent educational institution located in Roswell, Georgia, that prepares students with dyslexia and related language-based learning differences to be successful in life

Student designs included a large amount of color, nature and sky, and extracurricular activities such as soccer and music. Along with these themes, Artist Meesh Medrano added school related elements such as a pencil, math, the world, etc., to reflect what they see on a daily basis, but in an abstract and creative way.

Meesh started the mural with a large pencil that has just made a giant blue mark over the entire mural. Within this pencil line Meesh created a set of piano keys that have changed colors with the touch of the sun. This lays the background for our 4 students that are enjoying a day of learning and observing. The wall features a student who is solving an equation and another who is representing her Swift team running along the piano keys and kicking a soccer ball. One student is in the middle looking into the sky. And lastly the design includes a student to the right, observing the outdoors. All the way to the right, and along the ramp, these is a shelf of books, one book which is being picked up by our student in the middle of the mural.

Overall this mural represents learning, being active in our school whether we are in or outside of it, and more importantly, having fun and expressing yourself
