Art Mural Dedicated at Happy Hill Gardens Mart A Mural depicts good and bad choices in life By DAVID L DILLARD CkromicU Suff Writer Residents of Happy Hill Gar dens and members of SECCA dedi cated an art mural on the side of the newly renovated Garden Mart recently to shed a positive light on the community. & SECCA's Options II paired African- American artist Juan Logan with residents of Happy Hill to paint a concrete drawing (that shows the choices or "options" that people have in life and the consequences of those choices, said Alice Burton, SECCA associate education coordi nator. Logan begah his workshops in June to guide residents in complet ing the drawing he calls "Freedom's Bridge." The drawing shows an upper level filled with knowledge, wealth and happiness in life, while the bottom level starts'off with the illusion of wealth. But the journey takes you through drugs, other vices and possible death. The liaison between the upper level and the bot tom level is the church. "It s about choosing the^ight path in life,* Logan said. "But as you see, there is a ladder from the underworld going through the church. Just because this is where you started doesn't mean that's where you have to end up, you always have a way out through the church." Although the messages are implied in the painting, Logan said he wants the mural to serve as a reminder of the choices people have. "I want parents to think about their kids and when kids see it, I hope they see themselves in a posi tive way," he slid. Logan was chosen from a national search SECCA conducted to find a mural artist who had worked with kids before. "Working with him has been great," Burton said. "It was much easier with him because most of the people haven't had a lot of exposure to art. He was so encouraging." The "Freedom's Bridge" con cept was developed with reference to drugs and teen-age pregnancy to symbolize things they could relate to. "They want people from inside and outside of Happy Hill Gardens to be proud and see how far the community has come," Burton said. Adams Named Dean of Nursing JOHNSON CITY, Tcnn. ? Virginia W.
