Museum Mural Will Be Unveiled April 27


In late September, we reported that Dorchester High School's Art I class had begun work on a new mural located in the newest building of the Saline County Museum. 

Today, we receive word that the DHS art students are nearly finished.  There is still some minor detailing to be done, and that work will be completed when the museum reopens in the spring.  

The mural dedication will be held April 27 at the museum.  The public is invited.

DHS art instructor Stacy Lutjemeyer said, "This was a great learning experience for the students.  They were able to go out to the public to work on some artwork.  They experienced working large scale and learned some detail techniques of painting landscapes.  I hope everyone will come to see the mural in the spring!"

Art I students pictured include: Bryce Rockenbach, Derek Pohl, Agustine Perez, Lydia Wells, Laura Davidsen, Taylor Vavra, and Justin Schwisow.  These students started the mural with the sketching, layout, and base painting.  After it progressed, students Kacey Zoubek and Eliseo Ruiz began helping with the mural adding details and finishing touches.

  1. The Internet culture brings out the worst in people, most of whom are wanna-be know-it-all's. There's one positive comment under this positive story, while dozens of critical and smart-ass comments under many others that aren't so positive. I hope our kids learn from the mistakes of their elders and don't do things that make them look silly and sad; things like negativism, arguing like toddlers, tattoos, drug use, welfare instead of working, dressing like teenage slops, etc.
