With universal themes of diversity and multiculturalism that still resonate today, the mural offers an educational tool for teachers wanting to expose students to the art of mural-making and the history surrounding the mural. The exhibit may offer up to 40 courses, with CDs for teachers to distribute in computer labs. Creative director Richard Rodrigues wants to create a distance-learning project in which a student in Mexico can interact with a student in California, or view restoration of the mural in real time through an onsite view cam. The mural kiosk is unique, because similar projects tend to cover many works of art. As the exhibit travels from place to place, students may add their own graphic panels to the mural by scanning images that will be added to the exhibit.
Individual artists can generate ideas and images from the mural, becoming mural-makers themselves.
