Soaring through the Gates of Knowledge by John Durazo




In my piece I wanted to add more color, inspiration, and life to one of the many long forgotten entrances leading into Mesa College. Many students don’t see this entrance to the school because faculty parking that now surrounds this area. Because of this I feel that many of the staff and faculty don’t the mind plane look. However I choose this area as my piece to inspire and give the teachers or staff a reminder to the inner student in all of them. Even though they have long graduated from their respected schools and gained lots of knowledge, there will always be room to learn and explore and discover new things not only from books and lesson but from students and art. Students can also see this art when passing by to class or a stroll around campus for a shaded area and be reminded that the possibilities in life are endless just as the color spectrum that is above them and the inspiring words that lead into the campus.

  5. That really is such a great passageway. I can see why it can be overlooked by some due to the symmetry of it; adding color to the area really brings attention to the area. - Stephanie Huynh

  8. That scheme would totally liven up not only that overhang but the whole school, if they could incorporate that all over campus.
