Painting Process at the Hospital

Open studios

First thing visitors saw when they came into the room during open studio...
The next room had the sketches done by the students and a wall with photos which documented each student's progress.

Back to Brookdale!

Returning to Brookdale hospital this past Saturday, the class sketched their new concepts onto their walls and some even began to paint them! More patients and parents stood in the hallway and watched as everyone worked on their walls. One particular parent stopped by each mural and said "You guys are gooood".

Brookdale changes

After reviewing the work/sketches done for the walls at Brookdale, some issues arose but the class was able to "go back to the drawing board" to create original and unique illustrations. We spent a day back at Parsons and turned out some new and even better resolutions for our concepts. Towards the end of class, we critiqued each others work.

First work day at Brookdale hospital!

Jaime's illustration class has been given the great opportunity to create several murals for the Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, NY.
Our first steps took place in Parsons where the class created their sketches and later painted them. (Look for the images under the "Brookdale hospital mural project" link).
After visiting the hospital for the first time and returning this past weekend, we had a better sense of how much work was to be placed onto the murals. Most importantly, we realized how much this meant for the patients who watched the whole day as the students sketched their concepts onto the walls.

Lunch!
Brought to us by Peter and Chris, the students in Jaime Arredondo's illustration class take a well deserved break from working on their walls.
