I had to share the mural my students made. I had to help a little along the way filling in spots here and there, but for the most part they did it themselves. I taught them how to paint and it paid off. This shows a huge improvement from what they were able to do at the beginning. They were my 9th grade advanced class. Each year we add a new mural to the walls in our cafeteria. They line the walls, and this one by far is the best one up yet. If I had pictures of the old ones, you would see how crappy and lame they are. This one will shine =) If you haven't seen "the great wave of Kanagwa" by Hokusai it's at the end of this post. They chose to reinterpret and render that woodblock print for our mural.
The mural, about 8' x 5'. They added waves to the side to fill the space.
they changed the japanese writing to say our school's letters.
And because of where we live, they put a "Y" on mount Fuji and added a snake since that's our school mascot.
The original artwork by Hokusai
