The Story of the Art
Love is the Boys & Girls Club
Artist Paul Johnson worked with youth members of the Boys & Girls Club in Detroit Lakes to create a series of drawings he merged into the mural design. The youth members involved with Johnson are in the 1st through the 6th grades.
Paul asked the youth to create drawings that reflected three key Boys & Girls Club principles:
- Be healthy.
- Be successful in school.
- Be good to others.
Johnson digitized each drawing and combined the images on his computer screen to create the mural.
