My children both attended a parent participation preschool. The director was looking for someone to help make a "tree" in the circle time area. During the interview with the director, upon joining the school, I offered my artistic skills to paint one with the disclaimer that I've never done anything like this. In my usual style, the project turned out to be a large one. It took a long time, since I only chipped away at the project a teeny bit at a time (busy mom). However, I'm quite proud of the results.
I also created a second, smaller mural under the window near the large mural, plus designed a third one that I never ended up painting. Ran out of time. (However, I cleaned up the digital version of this unpainted mural and you can buy it at Imagekind and CafePress. The image is on the home page of this site as well.). I drew the images for the murals in Photoshop, and then my husband borrowed a data projector from work to project the image onto the walls. I carefully traced my design, maintaining its original details, then painted it.
I plan to add more closeup photos below in the future.
Since I obviously didn't have enough to do taking care of a toddler, I also offered to make a new sign for the exterior of the preschool building. I was handed an image of the school logo that was just outlined, not colored in at all. I scanned it, added color and extra elements (e.g. crayons, text) in Photoshop, then projected it onto the board that was to be used for the sign.
