I have mentioned the mural project for the inner courtyard in previous posts, and I figured that it is time for an update.

A quick recap of what we have done so far.

Teachers focused lessons on colours and different elements of a picture (composition, shapes, etc.) and taught them to each class. Different grade groups had different focus for their lessons. The art work from each class became the inspiration for their part of the mural.

Thanks to Val Batyi (kindergarten teacher) and Mary Shaughnessy (artist and parent), students all got the chance to contribute to each mural by painting a part of their class panel.

The results to date are outstanding. Thanks to Dave from maintenance (with help from Glen), the panels started going up last week.

It won’t be completed before the end of the school year. Too bad.

We will have to do some sort of celebration for the completed mural in the new school year.

In September, make sure you visit our courtyard to see these murals. You can also see the mural from the library and some of the upstairs classrooms.

Art lives at Cleveland. Well done.

Take care.
