I like the palm trees and the blue and brown colors. Star-Bulletin Kalani High School student Rie Takuma puts a finishing touch on the mural that borders the Waikiki Natatorium yesterday afternoon. Freshman Marci Nagasawa also contributed to the design. Nagasawa said she wants to pursue a career in art painting and embraced the mural project as an opportunity to do something on a large scale. The students believe their work is a positive example of young people's art, which should not be confused with the negative expressions of graffiti.
Art has meaning.
The mural is saying what we think of Hawaii. About 60 students participated in priming the wall and 12 have been active in doing the rest, according to Lileikis. The project is expected to be finished by the end of the month. What they're saying in the mural is this is what we see, and we want to share it with you.
