High school artists create murals
WARREN — Last fall during a cleanup outside the Trumbull Art Gallery for Make a Difference Day, students from Warren Christian School and Howland High School thought that the old Robins Theater alcove and lobby could benefit from some design and color, adding to the additional window displays in the building from between there and the entrance at TAG.
The students decided to make the area more colorful by painting two large murals depicting scenes from the city, including the Hot Dog Shoppe and Courthouse Square.
Patricia Galgozy of the Trumbull Art Gallery said she spoke to Howland art teacher Holly Schaeffer and Warren Christian art teacher Rebecca Greiner about the students’ project. They wanted to do some panels in the style and colors of pop artist Peter Max.
‘‘They thought it would be nice to do murals to make this area look nice,’’ Galgozy said.
