As Dragons embark on abrnew school year, one group of Carroll students wants to make sure that youthbraround the world have the same privilege. Over the summer, 15 Carroll students joinedbrthe Paint the Change campaign, a worldwide street art movement in support ofbreducational rights.
Partnering with nationallybrrenowned Southlake artist, Deanna Kienast, the group aims to make a changebrthrough artistic expression. Together, they worked with paintbrushes and plentybrof colors to create a piece that would represent the privilege of education. Thebrgroup hopes to make their artwork a traveling exhibition, putting it on displaybrat various Southlake destinations and campuses.
“If a standard 5x7brpicture represents a thousand words,” says Natasha Sabour, a studentbrparticipant and one of the founding organizers of the Southlake group, “then abrmural on the side of a 10-story building represents the incredible story ofbrdecades of social injustice that must come to an end.”
Joining a global endeavorbrfor education is #NotACrime, the group used creativity, art and socialbrtechnology to tell a story of social injustice that must come to an end. Learnbrmore about the initiative at NotACrime.me.
