Description: 

The chalk drawing depicted here highlights the spider sculpture by Louise Bourgeois as it stands predominately in front of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. The blue, green, and grey sky offer a soft contrast to the sharp angles of the museum while the legs of the spider seem to echo the sharpness.

From the information provided: "Every student in the class, along with teacher Vincent Mormino, contributed to the piece. Kemper, who assumed leadership of the Library in 2005, was the third kansas CIty area president honored by the scholl and its Gladstone Heroes Program, which recognizes an 'ordinary person who can do extraordinary things.'"
