Mural Project 2013

Nola's Dog House
We call this "The Owl Tree"...you will see why
Tucker's Island Lighthouse

Some of my talented 6th grade students are hard at work on a new mural project. One section of the hallway is being converted into a waiting room for the Child Study Team. Our theme here is "Nola's Back Yard". Nola is the school's Therapy Dog, and the subject of several books by her owner,  Mrs. Rice.

You can see here how we taped out the project before painting.






Here the girls are beginning the careful task of outlining and shading leaves.











This section of the wall is inspired by the famous New Jersey artist, Cathleen Englesen. We are depicting the old Tucker's Island Lighthouse. Holgate will be painting behind it, and Great Bay in the foreground.
