Ideas on the Wall
In art professor J. Pouwels’ “Public Murals” course, knowing how to cut through red tape is every bit as valuable as one’s skill with a paintbrush.
Through the process of pitching, commissioning, and completing projects, students learn a valuable lesson: There is much more to public art than the image.
Several high-profile murals throughout the North State have come from Pouwels’ first-semester course, taking shape in libraries, building exteriors, and the recently unveiled Cesar Chavez mural that now resides in City Hall.
Studio art major Shay Taylor worked with classmates Will Mobley and Kris Johnson to produce the 8-by-4-foot piece, “Si, Se Puede,” commissioned by Associated Students for a celebration of Cesar Chavez Day. The mural displays the visage of the renowned labor leader smiling over the University campus, adjacent to agricultural workers in a field, all under the sun and the United Farm Workers’ black eagle.
