Selected Mural Design

Here are preliminary sketches created by Robin Coalson. They are based off of the group's ideas generated during the brainstorm meeting that took place February 6th.

The tree will have names of countries flowing up from the roots. There will be faces that subtly appear in the negative spaces between the branches. The detail shown below shows how different passions of students can be included in the foliage. This will be done with different values of greens so that it is also subtle. The background will be a brilliant sunset.

Agenda:

• Plan a schedule for painting during Sand Creek High School's spring break. March 23rd - April 7th.
• Divide the sketch into a grid drawing and create detail.
• Start gathering paints, drop-cloths, and brushes.

Basic paints we need:

Cerulean Blue

Ultramarine

Cadmium Red Medium

Alizerean Crimson

Burnt Sienna

Burnt Umber

Cad yellow medium

Mural Dimensions:

103” x 482”
