Mural Project at John Grant High School
2017

Me as the Art Teacher

I was given the opportunity to create a school mural on the hallway lockers. My collaborating teacher organized for Marcio Melo a school mural artist to help out during the project. I selected 21 students whom I felt would most appreciate taking part in this school community project. I helped prepare the lockers for them mural and even took part in some of the mural painting myself for I believe that the art teacher should model by example. I picked the theme of northwest aboriginal animals because I used this mural project as an introduction to my art unit on Canadian and spiritual art. The goal of this project was to bring more life to the empty school hallway by turning all the doors and lockers into a beautiful and colorful gallery of student artwork.
