Mural Creation : ELCHS Part 8 : AVID and WICOR

Mural Creation: ELCHS Part 8: AVID & WICOR

Just about every parent’s dream is for their child to go to college. As part of the on-going ROCT mural project at East Lee County High School (http://elc.leeschools.net )  , I painted the AVID and WICOR images to encourage students to focus on their college and career goals. The AVID program was set up to ensure a student’s college readiness. Answering questions like: How do you actually get there? Are there specific high school classes to take to achieve their ultimate degree and career choice?  What criteria is your college choice looking for on your application?

AVID uses the WICOR tools to help students reach their college dreams. WICOR stands for Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading

Mural Creation Project: ELCHS Part 6: Wood Shop & Engineering

Mural Creation: ELCHS Part 6: Wood Shop & Engineering

Let the chips fall where they may! I have to admit I had fun painting for the entrance of the wood shop and engineering class rooms at ELCHS (http://elc.leeschools.net/ ).

The head of the wood shop academy showed me around the shop and discussed the student’s current project. True, friends and family would never let me near the use of most wood shop equipment, but it’s fun to paint them! 

Both departments have their own academy logo.

The engineering academy had only started their logo, so to the “drawing board” so to speak, I added the “gears” (ok, I admit I’m a steampunk fan, so “gears” came to mind right away).
