Graffiti Murals at Manual Arts High School
Came to work today and was pleased to see the bungalows covered in new murals by esteemed LA graf writers and students.
I was out of town on the Saturday when the muralists held a public event for the community to attend. However, a colleague described it as “our Woodstock – a once in a lifetime, magical event.”
The murals are incredible and anyone that’s driven through the city will recognize many of the artists represented in these new pieces.
I sent a student to snap photos with my phone during first period today and share the pix below.

School Uniform Hack
A couple of students have figured out that, by wearing a collar underneath a sweater when walking on campus in the morning, they can skirt past the uniform policy. Always impressed with my students’ cunning response to authority. I wonder how long this will work.

A student asked me to put these photos up – my third period is writing an essay analyzing the narrative and intent behind a recent mural on campus.

On the Four-Day Week
We discussed this article in my classes today – didn’t get the copies until this morning, otherwise it would have been yesterday. The move away from single narratives and the critique of “change” and “revolution” fits nicely with the texts in all three of my classes: Song of Solomon, Zoot Suit, and Savage Inequalities.
