Last fall we were looking around our space and thinking of ways to spruce up our crafts room. It was just a little blah, needed a splash of color to bring some brightness into it.
In the end we decided to hand a piece of white wall to the hands of our second graders.
They decided on a theme, which was under the sea.
Then everyone who wanted to take part sketched something they'd like to paint.
My job was to turn into a smurf.
Or rather to paint the background.
Then the kids drew their sketch onto a transparency which was then used to draw outlines on the wall.
It was great coming in each day and see progress.
The kids were loving it!
Here is the finished mural.
It makes me smile.
I mean, come on.. that is one happy whale!
Swim little Mermaid, swim! There's a shark behind you!!!
The original plan was that for next year, we'll paint white over it and let next year's second graders paint a new one.
I'm not sure we'll have the heart.
