The Formula 🧪✌🏾

I love working with these young people! 🙏🏾
They teach me as much as I teach them.

In collaboration with artist Milton 510 and Sacramento artist Fisko, Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) school students created works of art culmination of months of collaboration, from concept through design. Students were guided through brainstorming sessions which became the three murals’ initial sketches on 11-inch by 17-inch sheets of paper. An editing and revision process followed to be certain the sketches brought out the intended meanings. Once approved, the designs were transferred to large plywood panels and painting commenced.

The overall theme for El Centro Jr./Sr. High School mural is the power of education and the potential for change it provides. The image of a cap and gown is the focal point since many students have earned their high school diplomas and/or associate degrees with Lake Tahoe Community College while enrolled in El Centro programs. Two hands—one with a closed handcuff and the other with an open handcuff—represent accountability and the power of making choices. The Sacramento cityscape, with the road illustrating an arrow with footprints leading to the cap and gown, represents how some students get to their destination quickly while others may take a little longer. The completed mural at El Centro will hang in the Sacramento County Probation Department's Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility visiting center, where families gather with their children. It’s also where graduation ceremonies are hosted.

“I am America.
I am the past you won't recognize; but get used to me. Black, confident, cocky.
My name, not yours.
My religion, not yours.
My goal, my own.
Get used to me.”
