My Mural

Posted by Meymey Seng in Spanish 2 · Hernandez · B Band on Monday, March 6, 2017 at 7:51 am

​Elegí Whitman Plaza para poner mi pared porque es el centro comercial más grande en el sur de Filadelfia y está cerca de mi casa. Mucha gente va allí y hay muchas entradas. Una entrada es sucia por lo que tener un mural allí hará que se vea más atractivo. Comenzó por los grupos en las reuniones que desean barrio. Los grandes eventos son las nuevas tiendas de apertura y cierre. Es muy diverso y es propiedad de "Berslin Reality".

My Neighborhood Mural

St-Raymonds-for-web-press-page
This wall is located at 1350 Vernon Rd, just about 4 or 5 blocks from my house. This specific wall is the side of the nun's house, where there used to be nuns there who taught of at the school not that long ago. They used to teach the students that attended the school, and they went to mass, which is church, with the faculty and students, I believe once a month. St. Raymond's School is indeed a catholic school, and somehow they managed to talk about religion and every class, even classes that don't have much to do with words, like math and music. They are very proud of their school, as they sell merchandise and give away plenty of things when there are events. These events are very important to St. Raymond, as it makes people join together from different neighborhoods and celebrate the occasion.

My Mural

I would put my mural on the wall of a school I used to go to in Fishtown. A few blocks away from where this building is Penn Treaty Park which is where William Penn and the Native American Lenape tribe signed a treaty of amity and friendship. Fishtown was originally a small section of Kensington but because of the high population of fishermen and fish venders, it was nicknamed Fishtown and the name just stuck. The first people who lived here where German, but in the 1900s Italian,Polish, and Irish immigrants moved in. The neighborhood has been a working class neighborhood since it was founded with many of it's residents living in poverty. Now it's undergoing gentrification with higher living costs and more art and entertainment establishments.

South Philadelphia // Passyunk square

If I were to have a mural or to create a mural or any type of art work I would want it to be somewhere in this alley, because I wouldn't want my art to be easily discovered. I didn't see this "Electric Light Mural" until I looked around and looked closely down streets that wasn't a main street. I would want my art to be something kind of sacred and would need or require some type of adventure to find. Because it would mean that whatever art that I wanted to create was found through adventure and fun.

I would put a mural on this high school in Mt. Airy. A lot of the values that this neighborhood has is focused on education and diversity. For example, there are numerous schools open for people of any race. In fact, there is also a Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, which is aimed at helping educate hearing-impared students. This mural would help emphasize how education is important to the lives of everybody, and putting it on a school can help convey that message even more.

Frankford Train

I would place my mural on a frankford-transportation train. This would make my mural more unique and obviously mobile so that it will be able to make an impact to people not just in my neighborhood but in a bunch of neighborhoods in philly. This could also in a business perspective of how this mural would help for SEPTA be able to attract more people by placing well designed art on there transportation vehicles. This would also be able to employ artists in neighborhoods that are lower income.

My room

Posted by Mekhi Granby in Spanish 2 · Hernandez · B Band on Sunday, March 5, 2017 at 1:46 pm

I would put my mural on my wall in my bedroom located inside my house in Brewerytown. I would put my mural in my room because I could always look at it and be inspired/happy every time I see it. It would also be a good representaion of myself so anyone who visits and gets a chance to see it. It could be a conversation starter and just a good piece of art in general. I also wouldn't have to deal with any vandalism because nobody can get into my room and mess my mural up. My room is very significant to me because it's where I spend the most time. I lived here all my life and most of the significant events and memories of my childhood happened here. I value my room because I have my own space and privacy.

The Triangle

Posted by Shilo Kendall in Spanish 2 · Hernandez · B Band on Sunday, March 5, 2017 at 12:15 pm

I would put my mural on the wall near the triangle between South and Bainbridge on 23rd. The triangle was turned into a place that people could gather for entertainment such as music, movies, and for the most part food. This Triangle was redone by the SOSNA community. They are currently trying to raise money for The Triangles On Grays Ferry Avenue Gateway Project. SOSNA wants to make the triangular intersections down Grays Ferry less confusing and safer for drivers and pedestrians by adding places for people to socialize and to have an attractive space in the community. Ever since the reconstruction they have put on a festival during the summer called Plazapalooza in that area where people in the neighborhood come together. There is live music and food. My mural would add to what the triangle is trying to do by presenting a song name introducing new music to the community and bringing art where there is hardly any.

Girard Estates Wall

The Girard Estates are a neighbourhood within the region of South Philadelphia. Stretching from 22nd St to 17th, the area is named after Stephen Girard, who once lived in the neighborhood in the 1800s. The story goes that when Stephen Girard, one of the most richest men in America passed, he left his estate of $6 million dollars to the city of Philadelphia. Because of his gracious donation, much of the neighborhood is shaped by the stipulations he left in his will. There once was a school for orphaned white boys named after him, however, it is now operated by the Philadelphia School District. Also, the houses in the area are much more different than the typical Philadelphia rowhomes in other neighborhoods and many residents describe it as living in a suburb, without paying suburban prices. The house where Stephen Girard used to live now resides in a middle of a park, where residents annually hold meetings and holiday parties. Other notable buildings in the neighbourhood are the Edgar Allen Poe School (now known as GAMP) and the Donatucci Library. The area boasts a strong Italian American demographic, with a few Asian Americans sprinkled in. Lastly, some notable events is that Rocky 2 was filmed in the neighbourhood , and crime boss Philip Testa was killed in a bomb planted under his door step.

Girard College Wall

Posted by Jayla Wright in Spanish 2 · Hernandez · B Band on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 10:52 pm

For seven months and 17 days, picketing and marching happened along the walls surrounding Girard College. The intention of the protests were to make the school integrated since Girard College's founder, Stephen Girard, intended the school to be for white boys only. The protests were led by Cecil B. Moore and on August 3, 1965 Martin Luther King Jr. visited the marchers and said the wall would crumble like the walls of Jericho. The issue of the school being segregated became a court case that went back and forth. After the Supreme Court refused to review the case trustees of Girard College voted to allow African-American students to join their school. Eventually four black boys were attending Girard College.
