Creation Story.

Background to mural creation:
The St Marks Primary School mural was well planned from start to finish with specific goals in place for furthering the student's development. Creating the mural was designed to help students develop ideas on a theme then carry these through the planning, design and painting phases. Students also gained valuable skills in colour, shading and brushwork, not to mention teamwork! Working as such a tight knit unit, students came to appreciate their own work and the work of others, all of which combined to create the mural that now beautifies the main playground.
