Murals painted in collaborations with fourth and fifth graders

 

 

Greenfield Union Elementary School


At Greenfield Union we are collaborating with fourth and fifth graders to create murals on the interior walls of the school. Through the mural project, a select group of children creates an art experience for everyone in a school which has no art teacher and few outside resources. Last year's project was a mural series about the four seasons, and this past semester we painted one large mural about school and community next to the main office in the central hall. We work in true collaboration with the children, facilitating their processes of theme generation, drawing, composing and painting.
