Process
The PTA for Sunnyside Elementary wanted to add art to their library with a mural on a large curved wall in the space. I was hired as an artist in residence and worked with the students to create this adventure mural. They wanted a professional mural but also wanted student participation and collaboration.
Execution
Students select passages from classic adventure books to create imagery which became part of the art on the mural. The students helped paint the background and foreground of the mural. Every student, 1st - 5th grade had a hand in the wall. I put together the mural layout with the imagery created and finished the mural so it is a very professional mural which also highlights a great deal of student work.
Detail
Details of the mural include student artwork that was transferred directly onto the mural exactly how it was drawn by students.
