In collaboration with UCSB Community Housing Office, the INT185UA (Urban Arts) course is a quarterly beautification project for painted murals that live in the Isla Vista community.
Each quarter, a group of UC Santa Barbara students concept, sketch, and paint a mural over the course of 10 weeks. This project gives those who bike, skate, and walk by the murals every day— property providers, residents, and community members of Isla Vista — an opportunity to connect with one another.
The mural we created in spring of 2017 is located at 6696 Del Playa Drive, and spans about 25 feet by 6 feet. I was deeply involved with production and art direction as the community and design lead for UCSB Community Housing Office.
