Description: Oliver’s drawing is of a man looking upwards. This is a pre-sketch for a mural in Hannah Hall, which has a matching version with a woman and child. Oliver would find small spaces between other students’ murals and fill in the gaps with his own compositions. As a result, Oliver painted 6 murals in the building; no other student artist painted more than 2.
