Seattle Now and Then

Old Sea

Mural created by Art Institute of Seattle students
Located at 2nd Ave. & Spring St. in downtown Seattle

The project is based on old photos of Seattle from Paul Dorpat’s books: Seattle Now & Then. We started with a slide show and lecture by Paul to give us a background. Students from the Art Institute of Seattle then picked out photos to work from that would make simple, bold, small murals paintings with an old fashioned look by using a limited color scheme of black, white, & sepia tones for the old scenes and color for the "now" examples.

Completed Winter 1999
