Children First Mural Update

Hello Fellows. I have been working with Children First mural project for a few weeks now. And strangely enough neglected blog about it.

Week 1 :

When coming up for a concept for the mural I remembered learning that the children are fed a healthy, nutritional meal every day, and that it is very important in their day to have a stable meal. So I wanted to create a mural showing the children that the food they eat comes from the ground and is produced from the animals that they know and love. So I designed a garden with fruit and veggies growing in the ground and children mothering the plants. I also designed a farm yard, showing that milk comes from cows and eggs from chickens etc. 

Below is my first sketch of my idea. 

Week 2 

I emailed my sketch for approval, and the woman who needed to approve the design was out of town. So I decided to color my design. 

My design was reviewed and the garden design was approved, however I was asked to create a design showing more exercise and playground actives instead of the farm scene. So I drew up a playground scene to add to the garden scene.  Which was loved and approved with some minor adjustments. 

So I began painting the wall this week :)
