My Project

Welcome to my middle school art class! Please consider contributing to our cause. We would like to turn our main office into an artistic masterpiece. Currently, the main office counter is plain and boring. My students have helped me to create a colorful and creative one-of-a-kind art mural to enhance the space!

We will add to the climate of the school by beautifying the main office via a colorful custom art mural.

The office is the first place that people see when visiting our school. We are the Panthers and we want our "wild" spirit to shine through! First impressions are everything!

Along with my students, we will paint a vivid tropical mural which depicts our school mascot name in the center. The vibe will be colorful and inviting and depict some panther/animal prints to enhance the cultural aesthetic we are going for. The kids are super excited to a unique art mural which will bring joy to all visitors, staff and students for years to come.

Help us make our "mural" dream come to fruition! Thank you in advance for your shared passion of the arts and beautiying the community through artistic expression!
