On Broadway Mural

Classroom project requested by Mrs. H. on Jun 15, 2008

Where is the classroom located?

"Lights, Camera, Action, Scene 1: Art students create a backdrop for annual recital. In this rural Florida town, lacking in funding, the gym serves as our events location for all assemblies,concerts,and meetings.

I teach high school art. I teach all levels of art to all levels of students, as I am the only art teacher. I would like to engage my students in making a mural backdrop for "On Broadway", an annual event sponsored by our chorus.

Scene 2: I have very talented students, since the school opened 8 years ago my classroom has been filled with students enthusiastic to learn. Studying murals, meeting and watching a muralist, and making thumb nail sketches for a mural make for an exciting idea. Why not enhance the atmosphere for "On Broadway" by making a mural backdrop? This is a perfect idea, serving so many people, and involving so many skills. But with the lack of supplies, it has been impossible to see this idea come to light.

Scene 3: With rolled canvas, water soluble oils, and brushes all my students could participate, provide a service, solve a problem, perform, and create a lasting piece of art.

Scene 4: You will make it possible for my students to have an experience that is rewarding to both themselves and the community, enable them to further master a craft, and provide an opportunity of a

lifetime. hide»

*My students need large rolled canvas, a collection of oil paints, and a variety of paint brushes. details»

"Even 15 years out, I'm grateful that my high school had fantastic art, music, and drama programs--I wouldn't be the same person without having had that nurtured as a kid. I'm always excited for the chance to help other kids have a bigger, better experience with the arts in school! Thanks to tomatonation.com for pointing me toward this project."
