Connectivity

Connectivity is featured at the entrance of PS 506 and was created by two fifth grade classes. While sketching, the students discussed the best way to represent their school. The mural focuses on the ideas of global community, technology, and journalism. The mural design references a motherboard or circuit board, evoking connectivity and the many parts that make up the whole. Highlighted in the composition are some of the drawings created by the students in the design phase of the project. Inside images of squares and circles, children are represented reading newspapers, writing/drawing, and reaching new heights. Imagery of organic plant life symbolizes abundance, growth, and harmony with the living environment in an urban landscape.
