PAST PROJECTS.
2022 Kindergaten Mural
Developed in partnerships with 3 and 4 year olds, these birds were selected according to the top 5 on the Backyard Bird Count data for the area. A collage and a monoprining workshops were then held, incorporating recycled and found object items. The words generated by the students provided inspiration for artistic representation & the final outcome.
