Look past the ridiculous photo of me as a junior in high school: there is a Matisse and a Rockwell behind me. Advanced art students in this particular high school had the opportunity to reproduce famous works of art on the walls of the school. While it is important that students get to create art from their own visions, it is essential to also learn about great works and artists. Plus, non-art students get exposure to art they could otherwise go their whole lives without seeing. It's really great that this high school recognized the importance of art in a school's curriculum and that the presence of art should be felt throughout the entire school. Not to mention it makes for a very nice-looking hallway.
