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.
