Justin Larson was selected for his design proposal to the Sierra Vista Arts and Humanities/Cochise College posting of a mural project on the water collection tank located at the new Animal Shelter. Justin's proposal is called "Raining Cats and Dogs" with reference to the animals of the shelter and to the water tank's collection of rain water. The site of the mural is out back of the Animal Shelter on a water collection tank.
Edie Manion, member of the Sierra Vista Arts and Humanities Commission was the chair of the Mural Project is also a member of the Huachuca Art Association proposed to the HAA Art Classroom Students to assist Justin with his mural project. How could they pass up an opportunity to work with a mural artist on a real outdoor mural site. Justin then visited the HAA Art Room with his design and showed the students how they could participate in his design. His design included dogs and cats with umbrellas blowing around the water tank with one big dog under an umbrella. The students produced their own animal with an umbrella. Justin then demonstrated how to make a actual sized stencil to cut out and would be taped to the water tank before painting.
On the painting day at the Animal Shelter, Justin had the stencils already taped up and the students spent the morning painting their contribution to the mural. After they were done everyone took the tour of the new Animal Shelter facilities.
