statesman.com | Texas School for the Deaf dresses Scarbrough windows | Homeroom
Want a unique opportunity to enjoy some holiday window-gazing while learning something about the young deaf artists who attend Texas School for the Deaf, as well as about their unique culture and the distinguished history of their school? Visit the Scarbrough Building at Sixth Street and Congress Avenue.
Through Jan. 12, the Scarbrough windows are adorned with large 4-foot-by-8-foot holiday multimedia posters depicting still photos of students signing holiday carols, hanging photo montages and elementary student “holiday hand” mobiles. Reflecting the technology that the school is known for, large flat-screen TVs bring to life the work of video technology and digital graphics students teamed up with students studying American Sign Language as a foreign language in a compilation of movies and animated holiday sequences.
Also on display is a replica of the school’s treasured “Mule Ears” building, which dominated the Austin skyline from 1877 to 1957. The Scarbrough Building’s lobby showcases pieces from the exhibit “The Greatest Story Never Heard,” originally on display at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in honor of the school’s sesquicentennial last year. The exhibit demonstrates “then and now” perspectives in school uniforms, educational approaches in the classroom, technology and athletics.
The exhibit includes informative decals that provide interesting information about these young artists, their dreams and their thoughts about their art.
