Eternal Learning is our latest ceramic tile for the College of Education at California State University San Bernardino. Designed by Raul Diaz and Melissa Medina.

Eternal learning depicts humans at work, study, and play amongst larger-than-life books. Scenes of holistic learning activities such as shared-reading, drumming, conducting science experiments, playing basketball, and star-gazing, are portrayed with a community of silhouette figures. Flipping the scale between human and book, this mural aspires to promote the importance of literacy and lifelong learning. The metaphor of the open book suggests how it can open minds and pollinate thinking, as letters float throughout the work. A wall with the title, Eternal Learning is translated into multiple languages, suggesting the universality of literacy.

The mural is meant to inspire learning, celebrate educational achievements, and continually self-reflect on our eternally-learning selves.
