New mural at Henderson-Hopkins School

A colorful ground plane mural at Henderson-Hopkins - New mural at Henderson-Hopkins School reflects student collaboration - A grant from Arts Every Day paired Baltimore artist Jordan Lawson with students and staff to bring a sense of community and fun to the Eager Park school. There's plenty of summer vacation left, but Henderson-Hopkins is already sprucing up for fall. On July 18, the Eager Park school unveiled a colorful ground plane mural on the walkway leading to the main entrance. The mural is the work of Baltimore artist Jordan Lawson , who collected more than 200 worksheets full of design ideas from students this past school year. The resulting painting incorporates sunshine, flowers, an outline of the neighborhood's iconic rowhomes, mathematical symbols, books, and a bright blue sky featuring the soaring silouhette of an eagle-Henderson-Hopkins' mascot. "One thing that we loved about the ideas from the students is that they share a common theme of positivity. Just having the simple placement of a sky, sun, or flowers is motivating to everyone in the community," Lawson said.
