The Mural Project is a continuing project led by the art teachers and select students to celebrate the arts on campus.The design and installation of a new school mural, proposed by Keira Chen is in collaboration with her Genius Project and the arts department (with myself, Mrs. Herrick as her lead liaison). This student run project will serve to be a large scale public exhibit on campus. Keira is using this project as a chance to learn about planning and implementing a mural, leading a group of student artists, and communicating a positive message to viewers. To offer some background about this activity, Sage Creek Genius Projects are passion projects completed during the junior and senior years of Sage Creek students. During their final two years of school, these students strive to use their passion or special interests in an impactful program or activity that DocuSign Envelope ID: E8FA14F0-AA3B-414F-B986-C6C0BDF733EA Megan Herrick Sage Creek High School Visual Arts Printed On: 15 July 2021 Fiscal Year 2021-22: Educational Institutions or Affiliated Groups 3 benefits their community.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E8FA14F0-AA3B-414F-B986-C6C0BDF733EA Megan Herrick Sage Creek High School Visual Arts Printed On: 15 July 2021 Fiscal Year 2021-22: Educational Institutions or Affiliated Groups 4 In previous years and during the construction of the Performing Arts Center, we found success in a large- scale temporary mural bordering the arts building. This transitory installation lasted two years and included five large themed panels. Students, staff and Bobcat families appreciated the work and it led to relevant arts conversations. Those murals were created by students and staff in the visual arts department as an expression of their talents and creative liberties. The project garnered mass appreciation and conversation of many Sage Creek students and staff and was popular amongst the incoming students viewing or entering the school. The visual arts program at Sage has been fortunate to have previously received arts grants for projects and workshops inside and out of the classroom. Such grants help support our growing program and allow our students to gain perspective through real world experiences. Project Distinction: What makes this project distinctive? This mural will serve to be one of the large-scale artworks on the Sage Creek grounds. It will stand out as a public representation of the arts on campus of a school primarily dedicated to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) and will be viewed by all staff, students, and visitors. Located at the front of the school, the project will be visible to all that enter Sage Creek and will aim to welcome students as they enter the campus. The project is distinctive as it is an opportunity for Keira Chen and a group of advanced artists to learn the planning and implementation of a large-scale, school community project as the theme for her Genius Project. Project Goals: What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals? The 2021 Sage Creek High School Mural Project aims to facilitate conversation and appreciation of the arts through a mural piece surrounding the themes of innovation and creativity, ideas that often adorn the Sage Creek mission. With the installation of a piece at the entrance of the campus, the project will reach thousands of students, staff, and other visitors as they enter the school. Through a public display, the mural project hopes to inspire students in uptaking and appreciating the arts at Sage Creek as well as throughout their daily lives. In the hopes that other students enjoy and are inspired by the installation, the 2021 SCHS Mural aims to develop a legacy project in which we can continue a series of murals and art installations across campus. Thus, furthering meaningful conversations and appreciation of the Sage Creek arts department through more student developed projects. Goals will be measured through a well-designed, complete and relatable mural. However, more than that, a successful project will lead to student empowerment and leadership through creativity. Target Population: Who is your target population and why? How will you reach them? Our project aims to reach the students, staff and visitors of the Sage Creek Campus. With thousands of potential viewers passing the mural at the front of the school, the installation speculates a wide variety of viewers from various demographics and fields. This upcoming year we will be hosting a district-wide Festival of the Arts in December. With the work completed by this date, we can share this creative activity with hundreds of prospective guests while acknowledging Carlsbad's Cultural Arts Office support DocuSign Envelope ID: E8FA14F0-AA3B-414F-B986-C6C0BDF733EA Megan Herrick Sage Creek High School Visual Arts Printed On: 15 July 2021 Fiscal Year 2021-22: Educational Institutions or Affiliated Groups 5 Project Partnerships: If applicable, please provide names and brief descriptions of roles for any partners in this project.

Challenging students creatively is a major part of the arts courses at Sage Creek. We want our kids to try new forms of art and learn how to use their voice. This project is twofold; it is meant as a unique creative opportunity for our artists. It also meets the Genius Project assignment for student artist Keira Chen. In all, art students will learn important elements in creating artwork for public display from concept design, to planning and implementation, reaching a target audience and celebrating how the arts empower us. State Standards Description: Please cite the specific standard numbers, grade level(s) and descriptions as they pertain to your project. Describe how the curriculum and instruction (if applicable) of the project aligns to each standard. *Please refer to the California State Board of Education website for reference. (National Core Arts Standards) Anchor Standard 2.3: Assemble and display objects of works of art as part of a public exhibition. Collaboratively develop a proposal for an installation, artwork, or space design that transforms the perception and experience of a particular place. The design team will learn how to make visual elements effective for our target audience. Students will become familiar with preparing work for public display and learn ways in which to make the mural accessible. Artists will create and interact with objects, places, and design that define, shape, enhance, and empower their lives. Anchor Standard 5.1: Develop and refine artistic techniques and work for presentation. Evaluate, select, and apply methods or processes appropriate to display artwork in a specific place.
