Chartiers Valley students are painting beautiful murals to revitalize the art room.

The design and painting of two murals in the art room were captured in a stop-motion YouTube video. 

Kelly Hinnebusch painted Vermeer's "Girl With A Pearl Earring” in an area that will remain a traditional art space, while Jake Ciafre painted a portrait of Steve Jobs. Their art instructor, Chris McHugh, said the photos were put through Photoshop programming and then transferred to the art room cabinets before being painted on Jan. 10 and 11.

McHugh said the murals are part of a project to revitalize the art room and help convert parts of it into a digital design studio.

McHugh made the video documenting the progress and plans to do more in the future.
