Cafe Scene, 2002:
The 50-foot-long painting contains places and people of Washington DC. The concept for the design took the form of a cafe scene as that would carry on the theme of the businesses in this section of the Old Post Office Pavilion. The primary medium is window paint on canvas. Acrylics were also used. The upper portion represents the earth in its formative state.
The canvas was painted by art students who attend The New School for Enterprise and Development, a public charter high school. The school is located at 1820 Bladensburg Road, NE.
The Master Artist for the work was Mr. Steven C Ihde, who also provides instruction at the Art Institute of Washington, Arlington, VA. |
