Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
This year Heather is offering mural projects for your school. You are eligible for up to 10 hours of mural painting plus a “One Day Event” to add more time and funding as needed.To maximize time with the artist, the school can work on priming the walls / surfaces to be painted in advance. The plan or design for the mural can also be planned in advance over email.
Example of time breakdown:
Day 1: Introduction, planning, sketching
Day 2: Painting the background
Day 3-5: Painting the design or the foreground, final touches.
How much can we paint?
85 square ft —> 6 hours for an 8.5 x 10 ft piece
162 square ft —> 10 hours for a 16 x 10 ft piece
650 square ft —> 40 hours for a 65 x 10 ft piece*
*If you would like a larger scale mural than the grant will allow, additional funding can be used to compensate the artist. I am an EMSB employee and can be paid easily through the school board though project requests / other funding.
