One mural idea I did that got rave reviews started with taking
head shots of the kids. I'd put 4 or 5 children in each picture
and get close so that it was mostly their heads in the shots.
After printing the pictures, I cut out each head and gave it to
the student. They went through old catalogues ( Sears, JC Penny
etc) and found body that would "fit" their head. These were cut
out, head glued on and then placed on a large piece of mural
paper.
The next step was to add all the rest of the things to make the
mural complete. The class came up with the idea of making the
mural look like a park. What a neat job they did. Some of the
catalogue bodies were kicking soccer balls, others were flying
kites, some were just sitting reading. Using coloured pencils,
scrap fabric etc the mural was completed in several sessions.
