Street art, street smart lessons on the wall

It was a lazy week day when you got the day off from work because the locality is having a holiday. I got a free weekday and got nothing planned in mind. In the afternoon I thought of paying the bank a visit for a quick transaction. Having nothing else in mind and wanting to kill time, I chose to go to a branch somewhere farther which requires a short travel when we have a branch nearby that is just a walking distance.

I got out of the branch and feeling a little drained for the long wait in queue, I did not want to go directly to the next branch. That is another supposedly short ride but with the heavy traffic, I need a break. Then I saw these arts to my one o'clock across the road. I have been passing by these beautiful arts almost every day during my travel to and from work but never had the chance to take a closer look, until this time! Finally, I can take a look at them closely.

The paintings are on a concrete fence of a high school along the highway in Parañaque City. In the middle of the fence is the gate which is also the main entrance. To the right side while facing the entrance are these arts. Let us have a closer look at each painting.

On the upper side of this painting are different items depicting different professions while the punk guy is blindfolded. I take that to mean the student is still confused on what profession to take. Now that sounds familiar.

Edit: I did not know how to interpret this and @tattoodjay had a very good idea. Out world needs protection! Yes, I think that is what this painting means. Thanks to tattoodjay for the idea.

Knowledge is power! What else could it be? Oh, it also brings brighter future and progressive community.

Creativity brings out bright ideas, bright ideas produce results and results improves people's well-being. Is it? 😊

To the left of the main entrance is this waiting shed with more beautiful artworks. While I was taking the photos, the security guard was saying that the students were so patient in painting these artworks even under the scorching sun.

"What? Your students painted these?" I asked.

"Yes. All of those were painted by our students."

"Amazing!" For someone like me who does not know how to paint, I mean these are really amazing for high school students to have come up with.

Let us again take a look...

We have our national hero's saying "Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan." The youth is the hope of our nation. That sounds like what these students are doing. They are completing the puzzle of our future through their young and innovative ideas.

This painting could be the theme this month when many students are graduating or what the K-12 scheme calls as "moving up." The path to graduation is not a straight path or strolling lane. It is a stairway that you need to climb while keeping care, faith and respect in mind. Let me add determination and self-discipline.

There is one painting right after the one above. I thought I took a shot of all the paintings but I wonder where that one went. It's not in my phone.

This head is bubbling with ideas from education to engineering to more... Credits to those whose names are on the painting.

To the left of the painting above is a huge tree. Beyond the tree are these two more paintings.

Our future leaders are discussing our future. I hope they include environmental awareness and conservation.

Last but not the least, food for thought to ponder on not just for students but for constant learners! I am looking for self-discipline but S does not fit with the C's so I would let that fall on the character part.

Remember the Seven Cs of Learning!

That was a cool walk in a sunny afternoon. It restored my enthusiasm before I took another ride to my next stint for the day. It also reminded me of my school days when I am always in "row 4" when it comes to making arts like these. I had the challenge of coming up with ideas as how to depict a topic on a drawing or painting. It has become obvious that I am a consumer and not a creator when it comes to fine arts. In spite of that, colorful arts like these capture my attention. It is the vibrancy that draws me.

Kudos to those artists out there who make our world more colorful and meaningful!
