I was asked to come and work on a special mural with a group of year eight students at St Brendan’s School in Upper Hutt. They wanted to create a piece of artwork to communicate and celebrate their GRACE values and aimed to display it at the front of the school. As this was their final year it was their gift to the school and future students.

The students had to carry out the entire collaborative process from creating a brief, research, concept creation and design, enlarging the design onto the board, painting and presenting it to the school.

I worked with this group for one session per week throughout the term with the project completed in time for their farewell assesmbly. They did such a fantastic job!
