Three moms completed an ambitious art project this week aimed at stimulating appreciation of art by the students at Del Lago Elementary School. The finished ‘canvas’, the brick wall of a handball court, also beautifies the outdoor playground environment.
They recreated a work titled Local Surfers from the collection of surf artist Drew Brophy. The surfers are dolphins.
Drew Brophy
Drew has been creating exciting surfboard designs and surf paintings for 20 years. His work is known internationally. Some is licensed to more than a score of companies to print on products, including t-shirts, greeting cards, art prints, stickers, beach towels, boogie boards, shoes, surfboards, fabrics, tattoos, cd covers, skimboards, and skateboards.
L-R: Wendy Northrup, Patty Roberts, Courtney Arlow
The artistic mothers - Wendy Northrup, Patty Roberts, and Courtney Arlow – contributed the idea, time and talent, as well as equipment and supplies. Sherwin Williams and Wyland Foundation helped the effort by donating paint.
The SVUSD Del Lago campus is at 27181 Entidad off Los Alisos in North Mission Viejo.
