My Project

The paints requested need to be weather proof and long lasting. Nothing but specific mural paint fits the need. Many colors are needed to capture the essence of the plants and animals they choose to inhabit the mural.

We will learn how the sizing and textures impact the end product.

Students will gain a better understanding of the art form by directly participating in the development and creation of the mural.

Once we have decided on our subject students will design and locate the mural within the school boundary. This project builds teamwork, and helps students learn about the ecology of their home town.
