The mural by Tavar Zawacki and this mural by Jorit Agoch shared a building. The mural by Jorit Agoch was to the right and on a different face of the building that that of Tavar Zawacki.

The Face Of A Child

The mural depicted the face of a child. The lines on the face were typical of the face lines in most of Jorit Agoch's murals and portraits. The mural's title, "Teach Peace," was to the left of the child's face.

The mural depicted a peace symbol at the neck of the child. A dark eagle and a dark dragon wrestled for possession of the peace symbol.

Clever Sign

./Teach_Peace_Mural_by_Jorit_Agoch_20190227_131425_C19_1706.jpg

The sign that read, "Teach Peace," was cleverly drawn so that the three central letters were shared by both words. Above the sign was a flame, and below the sign was an infinity symbol.

Symbol To The Right

A symbol to the right of the child's face looked like a face over crossed arrows.

Closer Face

A closer view of the child's face. The texture of the wall could be seen bleeding through the child's face. A bolt in the wall looked like a zit on the child's nose.

Left Eye

./Teach_Peace_Mural_by_Jorit_Agoch_20190227_131434_C19_1799.jpg

The child's left eye viewed much closer. The texture of the wall made the portrait appear to have been painted much longer ago than it actually had.

A closer shot of the peace symbol. The eagle's face and wing were much clearer up close. The tail of the dragon's tail swooped in from the right.

Child's Lips

The lips of the child viewed closer. Notice how the shadowing and highlighting worked together to create a very three-dimensional portrait. Also notice the use of a thin red line to separate the face from the dark background.
