More than 200 students, faculty and staff let their inner artists emerge this week to paint two identical Zippy-themed murals for the "Mural of the World" project. One will hang near the ballrooms on the third floor of the Student Union, while the other will go to Washington, D.C., to be displayed with hundreds of other Mural of the World paintings.
The artistic endeavor actually required no skill. As long as the volunteers could keep their brushes inside the lines, all was good for the “paint-by-number” project. See their efforts in this video.
Mural of the World is a global project where communities, companies and organizations share in creating an immense public work of art – one painting at a time. The Mural of the World gives physical form to the synergy of hundreds of thousands of individuals working together to produce a “traveling mural” that will be displayed at public gatherings, shows, fairs and events worldwide. When enough paintings are created, the mural will be displayed at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
