The First Phase of the Art Mural Project is completed! Corbett Grade School and Corbett Charter School students created a replication of the Lower Columbia River Gorge in their own school hallway. Each of the approximately 400 students painted a plant, animal, or point of interest true to the magnificent place where they go to school – the gorge. The students raised money during their annual jog-a-thon, sponsored by the PTA, to hire artists to plan a three year project to represent the gorge from Troutdale to Biggs. The artists painted the background that frames a painting from each and every student. The area for this year's portion of the mural spans 140 feet of hallway. The students are representing the knowledge they have learned in their placed based education of the magnificent story of the gorge. You may view a student-painted Multnomah Falls, a Pacific Salmon, a River Otter or a Bird of Prey as you walk down the hallway. This project was highlighted on Channel 12 KPTV during the Sunday evening broadcast. Check out the video link and pictures of our students hard at work to create this amazing re-creation of the gorge!
