Art For Change Mural

March - April, 2014

Art for Change, 2014

Recyclable materials

Created by art students from Bayside, Green Run Collegiate, and Tallwood High Schools under the direction of art teachers Anne Baker, Erika Hitchcock, and Tricia Campbell.

Can Art Inspire Change?

Students explored this question through an in-depth unit of study inspired by renowned artist Vik Muniz. Muniz’s work explores the concepts of sustainability and awareness as a he created beautiful portraits from trash dumps in Brazil. Exposing students to big ideas through the arts develop an awareness and consciousness for critical thinking and personal action. 

This exhibition was created in collaboration with MOCA staff and local Virginia Beach Teachers. Click here for more information on this project.
