The Leen Mills Primary School mural project concept was designed around 13 different animals, each of which represented a class within the school, in doing so the pupils strongly identified with each character.
Creating a hand painted animal trail helped to brighten up the whole site and encouraged the children to explore the different areas.
The pupils got involved by making stencils which were then incorporated into the final artwork (paw prints, fish, feathers, etc.).
The project was a lot of fun and it saw a hugely positive atmosphere envelope the school, from the pupils, teachers, parents and many others who passed by. It created an excited buzz and was a great way to bring new life into their old walls.
