A10 - Inspiring and Connecting with Students Through Mural Making
The purpose of this workshop is to give participants a real life example of engaging students through creating art. My personal journey of creating a mural at my first practicum school was an unforgettable experience. I will begin by sharing my mural journey, from inception to completion, with supporting images of the actual process. This interactive workshop will give participants an opportunity to begin designing their own mural, so that they could complete this project in their own context. We will discuss the challenges and complexities involved in working with students through the processes of design to the ultimate execution of a significantly-sized and meaningful mural.
