students, from kindergar
teners to third graders, walk
the main hallway and point
out to any visitor, which
part of the new mural is
“theirs.” From brush grass
to Native American tulle
huts, the creation belongs
to them.
Carol Poppenga, a
Lewiston, Montana based
artist, spent two weeks
working with A.C. Hough
ton students. Students leam
some art in their regular
classrooms, but the school
does not offer a separate
art class. Poppenga began
the residency by giving
students a crash course in
drawing and painting, and
helped them brainstorm for
mural ideas.
S tu d e n ts cam e
up with two scenes from
Oregon’s pioneer days: a
wagon train stopping for
the night; and a Native
American village on hills
overlooking the Columbia
River. The river’s edge is
an exact reproduction of the
Columbia flowing between

During the second
week of the residency, Pop
penga pulled three students
at a time from class, gave
them long white tee shirts
and a paintbrush. The young
artists received simple in
structions: adding wool to
a small herd of sheep, legs
to a horse, or red combs on
chickens and so forth.
Students, instruc
tors and families are all
excited about the mural.
