Hunter Magnet Elementary School Community Engagement Mural
30ft x 17ft Indoor Community Engagement Mural | Feb.-May 2024 | Raleigh, NC
⭐ One Less White Wall… Student Edition! ⭐
After working with Hunter GT/AIG Basics Magnet Elementary School in the Spring of 2023 I was BEYOND excited to continue as a Creative Community Partner for their Geometric Art Elective in the Spring of 2024
Over several weeks, the students not only learned about the power of murals and public art but they also worked WITH me to bring an abstract geometric mural to life IN THEIR SCHOOL!
⭐ These Hunter STARS are leaving their mark on their school! ⭐
Through lectures, creative activities, and the hands-on experience of painting ON THE WALL, these 4th and 5th grade students had the unique experience of leaving their mark on their school to be celebrated for years and generations to come!
Located in one of the main hallways, our mural transformed a once overlooked space into a destination and memorable moment for students, teachers, and community members.
Say goodbye to another white wall. These Hunter STARS left their mark!
A Memorable Impact on a Once Overlooked Hallway!
