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
