However, do you know about the women who dedicated their lives to the local community where RMCAD now stands? That&#8217;s the question the 360 Thinkers Club is asking members of the RMCAD community. The 360 Thinkers is a student organization that aids members in honing their creativity and inspiring individuality and group collaboration. The club was founded by Zuzana Tothova, an online <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/academics\/program\/online\/art-education\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">art education<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> student, as a collaboration between on-campus and online students. The club\u2019s largest collaboration to date is a mural on the RMCAD campus in Triboro 102, which was installed in October 2024. The mural heralds three of the often-overlooked figures in our campus\u2019 story, encouraging the RMCAD community by highlighting these inspiring women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_84988\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84988\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-84988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sketchofarches.in_.color_-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Early sketch done by Mae Rogers.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sketchofarches.in_.color_-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sketchofarches.in_.color_-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sketchofarches.in_.color_-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sketchofarches.in_.color_-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sketchofarches.in_.color_-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Early sketch done by Mae Rogers.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 360 Thinkers Club wanted to find a way to immortalize all the outstanding women who have played a role in fostering RMCAD\u2019s community, but with limited time and resources, they chose three women who each made a larger-than-life impact. The women they chose were Chipeta, an Indigenous leader of the Ute tribe and wife of chief Ouray; Mary Harris, the president of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/get-to-know-us\/about-us\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JCRS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and the namesake of RMCAD\u2019s auditorium; and Bessie Marold, a World War I veteran and head nurse of the JCRS. As president of the 360 Thinkers, Tothova says the mural\u2019s legacy is about \u201chealing.\u201d She saw these women as healers who never got to share their stories. By creating this piece, the 360 Thinkers attempted to heal the narrative around each of these women. However, honoring the likeness of each one of these incredible women came with its own challenges.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Chipeta<\/strong><\/h2><figure id=\"attachment_84979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84979\" style=\"width: 192px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coloradoencyclopedia.org\/article\/chipeta\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-84979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Chipeta-192x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Image of Chipeta courtesy of coloradoencycolpedia.org\" width=\"192\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Chipeta-192x300.jpeg 192w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Chipeta.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image of Chipeta courtesy of coloradoencycolpedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chipeta is a prolific figure not only in the Indigenous community but also for women across the United States.

The 360 Thinkers wanted to acknowledge the tribal land where RMCAD\u2019s campus now stands with care and sensitivity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, a faculty member connected the club with an Indigenous artist, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chelseakaiahjames.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chelsea Kaiah James<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for insights on depicting Chipeta respectfully. Tothova shared that through these conversations, the club learned that Chipeta wouldn\u2019t have \u201cwanted to have her face on a wall because it wouldn\u2019t align with her beliefs.\u201d. Instead, it was suggested that the club find a way to honor her without having her \u201cclosed in\u201d ensuring the freedom for her people and herself was depicted. The 360 Thinkers didn\u2019t want to lose this important acknowledgment, so they took an even deeper dive into their research. A breakthrough came in the form of translation. In Ute Shoshonean, Chipeta\u2019s name translates to \u201csinging white bird.\u201d This inspired the club to depict Chipeta as a white songbird flying freely above the Colorado landscape.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Mary Harris<\/strong><\/h2><figure id=\"attachment_84980\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84980\" style=\"width: 237px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-84980\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-11.09.44\u202fAM-237x300.png\" alt=\"Image of Mary Harris courtesy of the 360 Thinkers Club.\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-11.09.44\u202fAM-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-11.09.44\u202fAM-808x1024.png 808w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-11.09.44\u202fAM-768x973.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-04-at-11.09.44\u202fAM.png 928w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image of Mary Harris courtesy of the 360 Thinkers Club.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like many women in her era, Mary Harris was almost entirely overlooked by history. As the president of the JCRS, she aided in building a community for those in need of medical care. Often confused for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshistory.org\/education-resources\/biographies\/mary-harris-jones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary Harris Jones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the 360 Thinkers had only one photo as a reference for the correct Mary Harris. Despite her incredible contributions to the JCRS, there was far less documentation of her, than men of the time, like Dr. Charles Spivak. With limited resources, the muralists were unsure how to represent Harris\u2019 likeness, but the club refused to be stopped. They studied and sketched her photo countless times until it was just right. From only a single black-and-white photo, they brought the color back to Harris\u2019 legacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Bessie Marold<\/strong><\/h2><figure id=\"attachment_81773\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81773\" style=\"width: 216px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-81773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bessie-m-216x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Bessie Marold\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bessie-m-216x300.jpeg 216w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bessie-m-738x1024.jpeg 738w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bessie-m-768x1065.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bessie-m.jpeg 977w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-81773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of findagrave.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Bessie Marold\u2019s legacy is a bit more notorious. Remembered not as a pillar of her community but as \u201cthe woman in white,\u201d Marold has long been relegated to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/blog\/rmcad-ghost-stories-fact-vs-fiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ghost story<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Born in 1893, she was a survivor and healer her entire life. Marold served in WWI, before coming to the JCRS as a patient and eventually becoming the community\u2019s head nurse. However, when she was murdered by a patient in 1919 because she refused his proposal. Posthumously pigeonholed as the campus ghost. That was exactly the perception of Marold that the 360 Thinkers wanted to put to rest. \u201cEverybody always says she&#8217;s the campus ghost, but she was more than that,\u201d proclaimed the club president. The mural honors Marold as a nurse and veteran, not just as a victim whose death was trivialized for cheap scares. As the club dug deeper into Marold\u2019s story, it sent the project in a whole new direction. Tothova and the club members discovered that Marold\u2019s grave had a star next to it because she was a U.S. Army Veteran. Inspired by the star, the club embedded it into the mural to represent her healing characteristics.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_84989\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84989\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-84989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240522_131247-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Sketch by Zuzana Tothova.\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240522_131247-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240522_131247-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240522_131247-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240522_131247-1536x1088.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240522_131247-2048x1451.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-84989\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sketch by Zuzana Tothova.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporating other symbols into the mural was the final cherry on top of the design. Searching through each of these women\u2019s lives and cultures, the 360 Thinkers accumulated and sketched all sorts of images. The club incorporated the Chipeta and Ouray mountains which were named for the Indigenous leader and her husband, as well as the healing yucca plants and a willow tree which also represented a historic willow on campus. The mural establishes the JCRS as a place of healing by incorporating images of the original gate. The final component of the 360 Thinkers mural doesn\u2019t represent the past at all. The timeless RMCAD geodesic dome embodies the college\u2019s future. Fitted with mirrors designed to replicate the dome\u2019s unique shape, community members will literally see themselves in the mural\u2019s story of excellence and healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27a65e4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"27a65e4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3bc0e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c3bc0e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mural_Fixed_Final-1-2-1024x415.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-84987\" alt=\"Final mural design.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mural_Fixed_Final-1-2-1024x415.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mural_Fixed_Final-1-2-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mural_Fixed_Final-1-2-768x311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mural_Fixed_Final-1-2-1536x623.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mural_Fixed_Final-1-2-2048x830.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3c31a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a3c31a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mural-1-1024x688.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-84982\" alt=\"Final mural in Triboro.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mural-1-1024x688.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mural-1-300x202.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mural-1-768x516.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mural-1-1536x1032.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/mural-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab73c9b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ab73c9b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d42f277 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d42f277\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Zuzana Tothova, she sees herself woven into this tapestry of women\u2019s history. For her, connecting with each of these amazing women through this mural has been its own healing process, saying: \u201cFor me, art is healing. I love art and I always wanted to be an artist. I was never allowed to study art back in Europe.\u201d As an artist, an immigrant, a student, and a mother, Tothova sees art as a way she can make the world a better place.
