Collage Art Initiative
Faculty Supervisor: Mr. Camacho and Mr. Mejia
Background Information In 2004 / 2005, Mr. Camacho in collaboration with Mr. Giraldo and Mr. Mejia created "COLLAGE ARTISTIC INITIATIVE" to create several murals throughout the Jones building. Specifically, the African American, A.L.A.S., Asian Club, GSA, LIP Hip Hop Congress, and Student Council came together behind the unique opportunity to create our first mural. Artists Mark Ernst and Ramaan Barnes will took a handful of students and taught them techniques in collaboration with Mr. Mejia to create a mural for the Student Union. The overall objective of the initiative is to continue create artistic experiences for young people that are self-sustainable and reproducible. Participation and Collaboration We would like to again, thank all of the participating organization for their support. Lip Hip Hop Congress, Student Council, and the Student Union. The following are the artists responsible for the 2004/2005 mural. Vivian Garcia, Carlos Lopez, Brandi Coleman, Joe Palumbo, Fran McKearn, Madeline Olsazk, Alma Garcia, Margarita Federova, David Hernandez, and Melissa Chen. Lead Artists Ramaan "Static" Barnes, and Mark Ernst. Special thanks to the following for the support that made this mural possible.

One mural will be in the cafeteria and another on the 3rd floor of the Academic Tower. It is the vision of this initiative to create opportunities for clubs to collaborate on this artistic endeavor to give Jones a stronger and more vibrant artistic identity.
