HI-USA's Community Walls Educational Program Art Opening
06/13/2011 - By San Diego, CA

HI-USA's Community Walls Educational Program Art Opening

Imagine going to "a local school with a global vision that empowers youth with education and love.

" Throw in a global organization based in San Diego with a mission "to promote Global Peace and Harmony through Mural Art." Add that with HI's mission "to help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling," and you have a dynamic growing community partnership with endless possibilities. All of these forces came together at the unveiling of the HI-USA San Diego's Community Walls Art Opening with the King Chavez High School on June 13th at the Downtown Hostel showcasing a 12 x 5 foot mural painted by the students for the Art Miles Mural Project.

This collaboration with King Chavez High School, Hostelling International USA San Diego, and the Art Miles Mural Project involved four class sessions facilitated by Hostelling International-San Diego Program staff and two months of painting by the students under the guidance of the KCHS Visual Arts teacher. First, students learned a foundational understanding of culture, diversity, and the difference between a generalization and stereotype. Then, students worked to define what community meant to them and brainstormed in groups to identify unique aspects of their own community. On the third day, students turned the unique aspects of their own community into sketches and completed an interview with a respected elder in their community to learn even more about their neighborhood. After that, students created another more focused sketch as if they were a tour guide giving an "Insider Tour" and had to showcase one or two specific areas of their community. By using the sketch es and drawings from the first four facilitated sessions, students began planning and executing what you can have the chance to see at the Downtown hostel through the end of June.
