As I've mentioned before Rebecca and I found a place to paint. Let me remind you that it is a Boys and Girls Club in Bay City. When I found out we had a place, I thought to myself that our hard work had payed finally payed off and I got so excited. I remember thinking it would all get easier after this because having place plays such a huge role on our project.
Well now, reality has started to hit me. Yes, we have made a huge accomplishment but the rest is still to come. Now my biggest concern is what are we going to paint on our huge wall - 19 feet long. The last couple of weeks I had been a little anxious because, even though we had a lot of good ideas, we could never actually settle for one and go with it. It wasn't until this last week that Becca and I finally settled on an idea. We want half of our mural to be night and the other half to be day. And within each time we will paint different activities that kids like to do or that they dream of doing. The overall message we want to send out is to encourage little kids to dream big no matter what their dreams are. Little kids already do this but the problem is that as they are getting older they stop forgetting about these dreams and the creativity in them starts to die out. I can't change this but I do know that with this mural Becca and I can leave a little reminder for them.
You are right, you are so much closer to getting your mural done. I am excited for you. Of the things that should be considered time management is the most important. You all should make a detailed schedule so that you won't have to worry about that while you are doing your project. But other than that all I have to say is. Good luck and be sure to have fun.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm in a program called Sacred Spaces where our end project is going to be to make a mural which might be on a wall off of Westheimer and Montrose. The point is that we are working with Mocah (Museum of Cultural Arts in Houston), and we were lucky enough to get to interact with the co-founder Reginald Adams, who is a Renown Public Artist. Check out www.mocah.org he is in some videos and articles. We could get you his contact information and he could likely help yall out.
