Five Finished Winter Murals

 I couldn't be happier with the murals that came out of the art room in the last 2 weeks!  They were made with all students in my 3rd- 6th grade classes.

They hung in the gym very easily from bulletin board strips and   were focal point at the winter concert on Monday January 17th.  We received many compliments on the work.

I am just delighted with how the murals look, now that they are finished.  It was a great collaboration and worthy of repeating in a different season or with another topic! 

The frames happen to be 4 inch by 18 inch strips that are folded down the center.  They were overlapped with the edge of the mural to make it sturdy and prevent torn edges.   It worked beautifully and it is also where all my students put signatures. 

Clipboards and organizing boxes are definitely recommended for organizing mural parts as they are made.  We found it was best to wait for the individual parts to come in and glue them when we could compare them by size.
