By taking what I have learned in class and applying it to the real world I am finding out that many more opportunities are opening up. Just recently I ran into an artist around my age who needed help creating a mural and wanted it to be a form of collaboration.                  


Because it was so large she chose to get a crew of 5 to 6 other artists who had a background in painting, or drawing. For the last month and a half we have spent time on making this a masterpiece of our own. 
We chose to go with a "flat" look since the mural is in a school with a younger audience. My first thoughts were doubtful but the more we developed the flatness, the better it turned out.




In order to draw attention towards a specific audience I began searching for popular symbols or messages that could be conveyed within a simplistic design. While he was still here "Tebowing" was on the rise and thus there was no reason why not to use this towards my advantage. Instead of making it in table form, I chose to branch out in terms of orientation and projection. Therefore, made most sense to hang these murals on the wall and shrink the size in order to make them more 'wall friendly.'
