On Day 4 the text was placed onto the mural and was painted into the rocks. Reece took great care to make the letters appear like they were part of the landscape. The mural was really coming together. We decided to add the Cree word for Many Faces on the bottom. On Day 5 the mural was completed with the help of Mrs. Clark! The following week it was installed into the Many Faces gym and the students were really impressed by the work created when it was revealed in the Spring Art Show.
Day 3 it was so beautiful outside that it was very difficult to stay in to paint. We stuck to our guns though and worked at a lot of fine tuning. The animals were painted in and the letters at the bottom of the mural were sketched in. The spirit wheel was painted and some of the landscapes are beginning to appear. Annie Bergen will be in our art room this week to help us create a mural for the Many Faces gym. Here is a link to her mural website. Some of her work can be seen at this website.
