Field Trip to San Francisco’s Mission District’s Murals

On October 17, 2018, Yolanda Valenzuela and Araceli Arias took fifteen Cañada College students to the Mission District of San Francisco to learn about the history of muralism and experience a walking mural tour in the neighborhood.  The history lesson and mural walk was led by Patricia Rose, a muralist who works with the Precita Eyes Mural Arts Center, which is located in the Mission District.  Patricia had a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to share with our students.  The murals were beautiful and rich in meaning and messages.  They will be an inspiration for our own mural on campus, which we plan to design and paint in spring 2019.  Please contact Yolanda Valenzuela (valenzuelay@smccd.edu) or Julie Carey (careyj@smccd.edu)  if you would like to participate in the designing process of our Cañada College campus mural.
