Grade 6 Art Project 2014

Each year at Kerrimuir the grade 6 students are involved in a collaborative art project as part of leaving their legacy at the school. I am very excited to announce that this year's project will be a large scale mural, made almost entirely from recycled CDs! 

Pictured below is the completed project at Reservoir West Primary School, courtesy of artist Max Darby. Max has worked at several schools across Victoria and overseas to create these wonderfully bright and vibrant murals for the community to enjoy. What I love about this project is that it is something that is easily accessible to children and looks so effective once complete. You can also see some photos of our students working hard last week to paint over 150 CDs in one session. 

The idea is to create a 'Tree of Life' at Kerrimuir that will continue to grow across the walls of the old bus shelter over the next two years. The walls will be painted and CDs and other circular discs added, starting with the blue/green colour palette for 2014! It is very exciting to see this project currently underway and taking shape in the art room. Over the coming weeks I will be posting more photos of our progress!
