Students produce art to inspire young voters

The Burlington Free Press reports that a dozen graduate students at St. Michael's College have teamed up to produce several art pieces in hopes of encouraging youth to vote. They designed an "up-with-voting mural -- six cartoon-like panels that tout the virtues of ballot-casting. Some of the panels depict stories about voting that the students gathered from friends, neighbors and relatives." The students created the mural as part of the College's master's program for art educators. Notably, "every year the class comes up with a civic-engagement project." For example, "last year, students worked with children at the Committee on Temporary Shelter to make books showing life experiences."
