Well there is offiicially less than a month to finish our project and oh so much to do. Right now, after a large group of kids painted the mural today, it is about two-thirds of the way completed. It's so exciting to finally be able to see that it is all coming together and is right on schedule to be finished.
Last week a group of University of Utah students from a class called Art in the Community came and taught a group of about twenty bigs and littles about service at Rose Park Elementary. All of the kids were engaged and participated in reading "Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed". Together with their bigs and their teachers they came up with great ideas about how to portray service through art. Some drew pictures of cleaning their room, donating food, and teaching kids how to play basketball. They will be painting their pictures when they get back from spring break.
Since the last post students from Mountain View, Rose Park, Newman, Whittier, and Washington Elementary have all painted sections of the mural. We've had a couple touch up parties to fill in white spots and a few more to go. Here is one of the fifteen sections completed below and the first two together.
