New sign painting up for Las Estrellas Dual Language School in NE Minneapolis.
Las Estrellas is in the process of incorporating its school mascot (the owl) into its hallways to help connect with students and build its identity. The mascot uses dual text in its word balloons to help children with their cognitive development and comprehension.
This particular mural was painted high above the stairwell in front of the entrance to the school’s art classroom and gymnasium.

The next one will be painted at the school’s front entrance, I already have a couple of ideas of what I want to do. Hopefully, I can get it all designed, approved, and painted by this May (2023)!
More to come…
”Las Estrellas Dual Language school exists to provide high-quality, anti-racist, culturally responsive education for every student. Our vision is to empower bilingual learners to lead the way to an equitable future. Las Estrellas is located in the heart of the Arts District in Northeast Minneapolis. As a magnet school, we welcome students from all over the city and serve students from primarily north and northeast Minneapolis.”
