The students, the teachers, and all the staff members from
the custodian to the cafeteria workers, are wondering what happens now.
Their school, Springarn High, in Washington, D.C.
is closing due to a city-wide diminishing enrollment in the public schools.
When the doors to the school close, it will also mean the
end of a basketball team which has had a rich history. The ‘Green Wave’ has
turned out generations of college all-stars, first-round NBA draft picks, Hall
of Famers and two legends who made the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players list.
This drawing is done from a detail of a photo taken in a Springarn
High hallway. I turned the gray tile wall into a colorful checkerboard by
choosing a colored pencil at random to fill in each of the squares. I added
patterns to the floor and door areas.
