My Project

Help my students get the opportunity to create community inspiring messages through mural making! A practice of mental health, they will express powerful messages of affirmation while getting the opportunity to work collaboratively and large scale- seeing their art on display in the school!

Students will not only utilize art as a practice for social emotional development, understanding art-making and collaborating as a life skill in self-soothing and communication, but also explore art as the opportunity to communicate with others and a mode of inspiration.

With the opportunity to design, develop and create murals, my students are planning to create large scale murals to create interactive messages of affirmation, building on their artistic skills and feeling empowered to impact their communities.
