Murals, Community Art Projects, and Functional Art
 
Motivate your students and enliven your school buildings in classroom, grade level, or even whole-school art projects such as murals and tile work or creative outdoor benches, gardens or pathways. Our teaching artists will engage students in a community-building process that produces a treasured and memorable work of art.

  • Grades: 1st through 12th
  • Cost: Costs for these projects vary significantly depending on materials used, number of students involved, and the desired final product.
    Contact AAEP to discuss your project!
  • Funding Sources: AAEP is interested and willing to collaborate with your school on obtaining funds from local sources and grant agencies.

AAEP is committed to providing schools with the opportunity to have their students participate in the creation of large-scale art for public display at your school or other location. These projects provide students with an in-depth arts project and the chance to experience a large-scale, creative project from start to finish.

A benefit of these projects is that the student collaboration builds classroom and school-wide community and students develop a sense of pride in the attainment of their goal. The end result is a legacy for the school that provides a model of accomplishment for future students to appreciate.

These workshops include arts instruction and may also be designed to incorporate community-building activities if desired.

Consider the following mural design options:

  • acrylic paint on plywood, masonite, or canvas
  • painted silk banners
  • paper collage on wood or paper background
  • clay mosaic on plywood
  • recycled materials
