We are almost finished with the mural that we've been working on for the past 3 months at a nearby elementary school. We have had two classes of fourth- and fifth-graders working with us during the school day to design and paint the 75-foot mural in their auditorium. I thought I'd just post a lot of photos of the process because they speak for themselves.
Our theme for the mural is, "We have the power to shape our community." After discussion and activities about positive things and problems in our communities, students made drawings based on these themes. I then compiled and outlined the students' drawings to project onto the wall as a basis for our mural.
