Description of Mural: The mural Heavy Metal was a year-long collaboration between San Anto Cultural Arts and Alamo Achievement Center Alternative High School (in the San Antonio Independent School District). The mural theme depicts the battle between good and evil forces in a medieval setting. In the middle of this confrontation is a river (Alazan Creek) representing the obstacles that residents of the neighborhood surrounding this mural (Alazan-Apache Housing Projects) have to overcome on a daily basis. A large crane, representing hope, brings together the forces of good and evil. The mural design was created by Adrian Fernandez, an 11th grader at Alamo Achievement Center Alternative High School. The mural crew was made up of Alamo Achievement and Lanier High School students. The crew is currently working on their second mural.
