Mural Art

In this exciting residency, students brighten their school with art by creating a dynamic group mural project with a professional mural artist. The mural can be painted on a school wall, painted on canvas and hung, or painted on boards that can be installed just about anywhere. Mural themes range from social studies concepts, to characters featured in books read in the classroom, to the school's name and community. Mural-making allows students to learn about teamwork and problem solving skills through experiential learning. Students also learn more about the principles of design as well as important math concepts like drawing objects to scale and plotting points on a graph.
