Clocktower Floor Mural







As you may have noticed, the Mira Costa campus is severely lacking in artistic representations of human nature. This montage of images and reflections was inspired by James Sicner’s famous work of art, “the Mural”. Sicner was renown for incorporating a myriad of various artistic styles and representations within a single piece, all fused together with optimal coherence.

I think this art piece, when placed horizontally as in the images above, is very eye-catching, especially to any individual who might happen to be walking over it. I chose this particular piece because it blends a variety of meaningful images together to create something greater than the individual sum of its parts.

This work of art would improve the campus greatly; when placed under the clock tower, it almost appears to be a reflection on the ground.

  4. I love this idea. I have also thought that the clock tower needs something more to it. You did awesome. It reminds me of the oklahoma city bombing memorial which is really cool, so I say you nailed it

  8. That would work great. It would add a nice accent to a rather boring looking clock tower.--Justin

  13. I thought the clock tower needed an accent, and I think you found the perfect solution. The design would be viewed by students walking through the clock tower, so the art would be accessible to people. Great color coordination, and a great idea.
