Paving the Way to a Subway
This is collage and poetry combined. The images of the murals at the 36th Street train station in Brooklyn, Sunset Park, were taken with my phone camera, and I used Paint 3D to create the collage and type my poem. Growing up in Sunset Park all my life, I have seen these murals for as long as I can remember, and observing them made me understand and appreciate the history behind the tiles and tracks that lined the subway. I felt it was finally time to honor the artwork itself, which captured my wondering gaze since a very young age.
I love your combination of the mural pictures and poetry. It was insightful to know that you have always been accustomed to these types of murals growing up and now finally through this class, you have been able to see them as more than just a picture on the wall as you go about your day. During the tour it served a ulterior purpose, and moving froward we should appreciate all art forms in this fashion.
