Murals

March 23, 2020

Promoting collaboration, communication and synthesis of information is the hallmark of our Mural Projects. The process of making murals focuses on finding solutions to visual problems, which involves evaluation, persistence, and collaboration. Students use computers to research the scientific or social studies topic and find visual references to use for their drawings. Translating the written subject to visual pictures, which are in turn painted onto walls or canvas, helps students to integrate their learning and supports retention and understanding. Fostering creative thinking and self-esteem are among the program’s strengths.
