Sixty Noblesville High School (NHS) student artists recently worked together to create a mural in their library, incorporating suggestions and input for the piece from approximately 750 fellow classmates. They chose the theme “We Are All Human,” highlighting hands spelling “human” in sign language.

The students were mentored throughout the project by former art teacher and professional artist Israel Solomon thanks to a grant from the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation.

Some of the students shared that the finished mural was meaningful to them because of the collaborative creation process, the opportunity to learn from a professional artist, and the important message the art represents to the NHS community.
