While Back in Milbank…

While back in Milbank . . . | 2016 | acrylic on wall | 6‘ x 26’ | Milbank High School | Milbank, South Dakota

While Back in Milbank . . . was a collaboration between Milbank High School students; art teacher Nancy Pauli; and guidance counselor, Heidi Wellnitz. This collaboration led to an interactive themed mural based off of a copicbook strip along with commentary balloons. Chalkboard paint was used on the inside of the commentary balloons allowing students to write, erase, and update topics related to school activities; campaigns against drug addiction; healthy eating; bullying in schools; student diversity and inclusion.

Thank you to South Dakota Arts Council Artists in Schools & Communities Grant; support from Grant County Economic Development Corporation; and Milbank High School.
