First A Class Assignment, Now A Hospital Wall Mural
Just another assignment in wall mural painting project for in drawing and painting.
Earlier this semester Raymond J Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, received a call from a staff member of the Topeka State Mental Hospital, who asked if someone would paint a mural in the dayroom of a girls' ward.
All sophomore, junior, and senior students in composition submitted a rough design for the mural. Students from the classes then selected the best ones to be sent to Topeka. The staff at the hospital chose Miss Remmle's for its style, but not its subject matter.
Circus Scene Wanted
"The girls in the ward range in age—from 8 to 18." Miss Remple said. "The designs the staff wanted were in the form of a circus scene or something like that. They thought, however, the original idea I submitted would be too juvenile and the girls would resent it.
"I submitted several more designs and the staff and ward patients picked out the one they wanted."
Miss Rempela took her scaled plan to Topeka and met with the staff. She returned to the hospital last week and painted the mural.
"The staff was afraid the girls would resent someone coming in and painting up their ward." Miss Remple continued. "We decided to let them help so they would feel it was theirs.
Help Came Fast
Help Came Fast
"When I started working they just stood away and tried to ignore it. Two girls volunteered to help and then pretty soon nearly everybody took a turn at painting this or that. Only 3 of the 19 girls in the ward refused to help."
The mural is an outdoor scene with boys and girls playing baseball, "tombboys" climbing trees, and boys and girls sitting together in the grass. It was designed to give interest to the wide diversity of ages.
"I painted in the faces last," Miss Remple said. "As soon as I got one painted they started identifying the figure with themselves or a friend.
"This one came out very well. I can't call the project successful yet, however. I am returning in a few weeks to paint a mural in the day-room of the boys' ward. I hope they like it as well as the girls like theirs."
