Description
"Salvador Torres and Mathew Lagler on the roof top of Salvador Torres Workshop over-looking the San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge. Salvador Torres foresees the idea of the need to develop a young mural apprenticeship program. 1973, Salvador Torres expresses this idea to Beth Coffelt, Art Critic (see San Diego Magazine, December issue.) Salvador Torres' Curriculum centered around the Chicano Park Murals. The idea is to start the young artists drawing and painting the columns of Chicano Park to familiarize them with the artistic problems of compositional problems of 3-D surfaces, sizes, lights sources, and simple drawing and painting techniques. The idea of this apprenticeship begins in the elementary and secondary, college and university levels. Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, directed to monumental public art. This idea is partially understood and practiced by Victor Ochoa, with classes he is hired to conduct, (See children's mural in Chicano Park in Victor Ochoa collection)." Salvador Torres
