The School Mural

The Mural is complete!

Unfortunately, I am waiting for the Final Reveal at our Fine Arts Evening on June 4th before posting. :-)

So here is just a small sample of the painting in process...


We utilized a pointillist style of painting, where students used their fingers to create the points of colour. Inspired by the works of Seurat, this project was undertaken as a communal effort, involving as many students as possible from grades 1-12. Students were encouraged with the understanding that each individual tile would become part of the bigger picture, as we encourage all of our students to be a part of the larger community.

I am taking the opportunity here to again thank my senior level students who worked on the design and preparation process, from layout to priming the panels. Without you, this would not have been possible.

As well, a great big THANK YOU to all students who helped with the painting. This is YOUR school mural. I hope that you all enjoyed the process and that you will continue to enjoy the finished product.
