"Colorful, enlightening, and inspiring. It holds the
attention of the students and piques their interest in patriotic
subjects."
Principal Chimneyrock Elementary
School Cordova, TN
"With
patriotic music filling the air Cliff Beaman of Jacksonville,
Florida turns a seven-foot canvas into a living, breathing
mural depicting the splendor of America. ...Over the course
of thirty minutes Beaman constantly changes the mural. ...All
the while Beaman's flare for the dramatic shines through as
he paints to the music... Not
only is Beaman trying to entertain the children
in his audience, he's also tried to convey an important message
to them."
