We began looking at the Marys River and the
Cascade-Willamette River watersheds.
A watershed is an area where water is collected
from rain.
Color Study
We were shown many different pictures of
murals from around the world.
We also walked around the
Co-op looking at their murals.
Mural Examples…
We then cut and fit pictures together to create an awesome rough draft of
our murals.
After that we painted small scale paintings of
the murals.
We transferred the painting to the mural boards using a grid
system.
We first chalked out the drawing onto the
boards…
We divided into two teams:
Ty, Ben, Sageand
Aja, Ian, Brandon
…And started painting!
We painted on boards inside so that the paint could cure.
It was still too wet outside to paint directly on the water collection tanks.
Then we began to install the individual boards onto the frame in front of the tanks.
We had great help from a few of the Three Waters Project
volunteers.
