Art should evoke thought and comment. She did that, made national news. Great job cute mural.

Animals for medical staff, and one dressed as a king?
Some weird "features", shrooms, Hamsa hand, demon, and other assorted things, including maybe even Pepe the frog?
The clothing colors don't bother me.
I'm kind of meh on the actual artwork. But I guess for a young person it's not all that bad.

Typical of what a high school kid might put on a mural. Hidden intent?......maybe, but I don't see anything that actually concerns me.

It looks like the mural space was larger than the student's design, so she added some stuff to fill in. The source article shows that the basic design is the same. The narrow-minded critics made the allegations and assigned negative values to the images that no one else would have connected otherwise.

Meh. I'm not going to bash a kid.

I will bash all the useless adults who filled her head with propaganda.

People looking for offense where none was intended.

It's a colourful piece of art, intended to spice up a part of a school, which space is probably pretty boring otherwise. And it carries an inoffensive, if not just-plain-sensible, message: in plain English, "Stay Healthy." That's what draws the viewer's eye, which is any artist's intention, when they have a message. Characters looking strong and supporting the message reinforce that. Everything after that is just gravy: the stars, cats, spades (like in a deck of cards), peace signs, Hello Kitty, mushrooms, and puppies.

There is nothing to be offended about here.

I think it looks great, she's very talented.


The huge syringe had me rotfl, given by a flying pig crowned as king, lol. She even put the devil right underneath it, too.





Brilliant.

I guess these parents never watched Punky Brewster growing up. Not every girl wearing multicolors represents LGBTQ. The art looks like a Rug Rats type design which the parents would likely be familiar with as well given the typical age of parents.

And whatever parents said Witchcraft should be removed from the school immediately before they start burning kids over a fire or throwing them in deep water to check if there are witches in the school.

Amazing how everyone walks wound with a computer in their pocket where a search for what something is could be completed in seconds, but NOPE, it must be witchcraft.
