Approval of the revised design for a transit related art mural. <br /> Ms. Finegan provided some background information regarding the Bus Shelter Mural project <br /> being undertaken by students of Foothill High School. She reminded Commissioners that at <br /> the December 7, 2009 meeting, the Commission had voted on three (3) designs presented by <br /> the students, had selected one (1) of the designs and made some suggested modifications. At <br /> this meeting the Commission was being asked to review the modifications made by the <br /> students so the students could enlarge the design to the scale of the shelter's back panels. <br /> The students and their teacher reviewed the design with Commissioners and advised that this <br /> design incorporated some of the elements of the three (3) original designs reviewed by the <br /> Commission. The design included the Ace train, hot air balloons, a bunny, street signs, <br /> flowers, the Foothill High School Falcon, scientific abstract elements, etc. <br /> The Commission was informed that work on the project was done after school and during <br /> lunch breaks. <br /> Commissioner Hess suggested the students include some element in the design that would be <br /> indicative of the new Firehouse Arts Center. <br /> Commissioner Molz felt the size of the bunny in the design was too large and should be made <br /> smaller. Commissioner Hess agreed and thought it should be Tess dominant and could be <br /> chocolate colored. <br /> Several Commissioners also felt that the abstract element needed to be changed and the <br /> Falcon could be removed and replaced with some visual element related to the Firehouse Arts <br /> Center. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Rivera, seconded by Commissioner Hess, to approve <br /> the revised design for the Transit Related Art Mural with the recommendations made by <br /> members of the Commission being incorporated into the final design. <br /> Civic Arts Commission <br /> March 1, 2010 <br /> Page 2 <br />
