We are thrilled to announce a mural project that we will be asking the students to help design & paint for the new wing!
In support of our amazing department, the PTC afforded us to have Ed MacEwen come to speak to the students about his painting career and work with large-scale murals. Ed not only has an impressive body of work to inspire us as we undertake this project, he also happens to be Mrs. Sailer's father.
During his visits, Ed discussed the creative thought process that happens as a project of this scale unfolds. From brainstorm lists, to sketches, to color scheme selection, he shared with the students his "word" mural he designed for the Wilton Library.
Once the slideshow and discussion concluded, students began brainstorming for our mural. Our focus will be to convey a message of creativity, community & positivity while combining typography, shapes & color.
Here are some photos of our visiting artist, Ed MacEwen & some of our students:
