| ON THE WALL . . . Jon-Michael Marinell, a third-year illustration
major from Buffalo, spent the summer painting murals on two sides
of a concrete-block wall at the Indian Landing Elementary School
on North Landing Road in Brighton. Officials of the school, which
is part of the Penfield Central School District, asked RIT for help
in turning the wall into a Sept. 11 memorial. Marinell developed
the patriotic themes, which include a huge bald eagle in flight on
one side and images of the Statue of Liberty, the Capitol and Mount
Rushmore on the other. |
