The Lana'i school had several exterior walls which were slated for
mural sites for some time with no funding or coordination to get the work
done. This project remedied that. The project leaders
began the murals with a school assembly that presented a powerpoint
slideshow on the history of mural painting and introduced the school mural
projects to the youth. Two
small walls that are double sided are in the Elementary section of the
property. The elementary children brainstormed mural concepts with guidance
from the project leaders. The artists designed the four murals based on
their collective input. The designs were projected and cartooned onto
the walls in pencil. After paint lessons on paper, students were assigned
areas to paint which are related to the specific lesson.
The
Middle and High Schools Students painted three walls which make up a small
utility building on campus. The connected walls present Honu's progression
and growth from egg, to hatchling, to an underwater swimmer. This mural
mirrors the students' growth from the Elementary school to the Middle
and High schools onto adulthood. With the help of over 300 students in the Elementary school five community paintings now brighten the campus
with color and inspiration. This
visual art presentation will help guide students, for years to come, in
transitions of growing. |
