The Bronx Community College has unveiled a new student-driven mural on its campus, called “Transformation.” It’s located on the temporary construction fence adjacent to the college’s Language Hall.
The collaborating group of current students and alumni sketched a design incorporating iconic Bronx landmarks such as the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium. From the sketches, they digitized the design using Photoshop. The mural, designed by six different artists over a period of eight months, showcases the talents of the digital art department at BCC.
“The mural was a labor of love donated by the students of the Digital Arts Program at BCC as a way of celebrating their own transformation, and as a gift to future students who will follow in their footsteps,” said Lisa Amowitz, deputy chair of the Department of Art and Music.
The mural, which is 64 feet long and 4 feet 6 inches tall, is a colorful decoy for the campus as it undergoes major infrastructure improvements.
