OBJECTIVES: Students learn that murals are images on walls, building exteriors, and interiors, and other large, usually public, surfaces. Students learn that mural makers use different techniques and media. ... Students learn how to identify individual tasks that must be coordinated in order to complete a large mural.

Outcomes: Students creating a mural for their institure/surroundings are actively changing the space. They are engaged in an opportunity to communicate with their peers about issues, topics, and imagery important to them. The mural is not hidden on a shelf or stashed away in a folder. It is on display at any time of any day for anyone to see. There is no more authentic, relevant project in art education for students to create together than a mural. The large scale and validation of student abilities murals provide can spark a new vision and purpose in individuals who participate in making them. While plays, films, and musical performances are also extremely high on the art education empowerment scale, a mural speaks to viewers at every hour of every day, maximizing audience potential.
