I need to take a minute and just brag, because I have witnessed something beautiful this week. Something to join the pyramids of Giza or the hanging gardens of Babylon. An epic wonder of the world to span time and nations. Yes, friends. My art class finished it's mural this week.
Oh, what a sight to behold! My class of middle school girls has been working so hard, and all their sweat and toil has finally paid off. Our only rules for the mural were
A) Keep it on theme: It is nature-inspired since the community garden is right outside it's doors.
B) Use the limited color palette I had set out for them.
C) Everything inside a black outline to keep things unified and
D) use patterns instead of solid colors to fill in the shapes.
Now, of course some rules have been bended, but I think for the best. These girls created a lovely mural that will brighten the Community Arts Center for many years.
