For an art teacher this unit forms the framework of not only introducing mural making but at the same time focusing on concepts that the students are investigating: shape, color, perspective, scale, line, tone etc. The murals can be sophisticated or simple based on the understanding and needs of the students.
Taken in light of the background presented in this unit my hope is that the students will grow in self-esteem as well as skills as “Our Images Make History” becomes a part of their understanding of how artists reflect the values of our culture.
