Greenbrier School Commons
A volunteer project requested by the principal. Commons area. Completed during after school hours.
-- Request: Give some color to the Commons. How can it tie in with Character Counts? I presented to him: "No matter the Season, Friends are the reason Character Counts"
-- The images were painted above the fire doors. I had total cooperation from the custodian, who arranged for a lift to be borrowed from the district. The project took a long time, but the students seemed to enjoy watching the process. Above each door was painted 2 seasons:
^^ The Fall/Winter scene looked out onto the play field of the school. Trees along the horizon and a tall tree in the foreground with falling leaves. Geese were strolling in the foreground. On the right a HUGE snowball/boulder reminiscent of snowy winter recess days. 3-D effect: Artificial leaves were glued falling to the ground, and the Custodian mounted a rake leaning against the tree and 1/2 snow shovel leaning against the boulder to the scene.
^^ The Spring/Summer scene included a little pond with ducklings and a stump with a garden shovel leaning against it.
- Picket fences painted the colors of the Character Counts Traits were mounted on the main wall with the quote painted above. (We didn't want to cover the landscapes with the picket fences.:<))
