Children First Mural

Over the summer I took part in a 9 week volunteerism program. The Glass Fellowship program Ringling College offers during the summer allows students to do 300 hours of community service in exchange for a scholarship :) I painted two murals during this program- one was a group mural and we painted 4 flights of stairs for a stairwell at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. For my independent project I chose to paint a mural at Children First which is a head start school. I loved painting this mural and after hearing the children's opinions about the work i feel like i have achieved my goal. I wanted to bring a new creative atmosphere into the building and for the children to interact with the mural. I hope the children will see the fruit and vegetables that they know and love and realize that their food is grown from the ground. Also for kids to see other children playing nicely in a playground and exercising, influencing their developing minds.
