Mural Art Camp Day 1

Yesterday we kicked off our first day of Mural Art Camp! The week long project is to paint a mural on a wall in our community garden. The mural has four sections each based off of a different verse in Jeremiah talking about living in community. Before we began painting the mural we introduced the kids to color theory. We discussed what primary colors are and how to create secondary colors. To practice their painting skills each student got to paint their own picture on a canvas. The kids were then split into two groups. One group first headed out to work on the mural in the garden while the other began creating a mobile and had a devotion. Inside we talked about Jeremiah 29:5 “Build houses and settle down”. We discussed what it meant to be a good neighbor and how we can be part of our community. The kids created houses for their mobile as well as vegetables and fruits. The groups switched so everyone got to be part of the mural experience. Our first day was filled with excitement! The kids learned how to paint, how to mix colors to create new ones, got a little messy, and were reminded to always be a loving neighbor to others.
