The Art Education Learning Community is proud to announce the completion of a service-learning project by first-year art education (AED) majors—a ceiling mural designed, executed, and installed at Compass House. The mural is a tribute to youth who use the facility as a refuge in time of need. The AED Learning Community students are enrolled in BSC 101 taught by Candace Masters, FAR 101 taught by Philip Ogle, and CWP 101 taught by Irene Sipos. Sarah Vélez is liaison for the group.

The design of the mural reflects constellations and signs of the zodiac. Students planned the mural with the idea that looking toward the colorfully designed “sky” would offer a sense of hope to youth at Compass House. Since this is the Year of the Arts at Buffalo State, the Art Education Department is honored to have the opportunity to add this effort to the numerous accomplishments in the visual arts. These AED majors will present their achievement at the University College Learning Community Symposium on Thursday, December 8, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Rockwell Hall.
