West Gresham Elementary School Mural Project.... Completed!!!

During the beginning of April I will be an artist-in-residence at West Gresham Grade School. The elements of the mural will be done indoors and then installed to the East facing wall of the play area the children use for outdoor time. The children will be doing all the elements. K & 1st will be doing big panels with bright, blue paint and stenciling clouds in honor of Kyle (see below paragraph). The 4' x 4' panels shown have been changed to 2' x 2' with a theme of "Things That Fly" and will be arranged artistically above the pickets painted by the 2nd and 3rd grade students.

    The official unveiling will be at the Arts Show which is being put on as a benefit for our brand new Kyle Riedel Memorial Arts Scholarship.  The proceeds from that night will go towards partial scholarships for students that want to participate in supplementary arts programs like MUSE band, Summer Arts Academy etc.  Kyle is the former student who died in a drowning accident.  His mom is the music teacher at West Gresham Grade School.  He was a lover of clouds so we wanted to incorporate that into the mural project.
