SCHOOL MURALS

We thrive on creating really awesome mural artworks with schools. When students work with our artists as part of a team, when they learn new skills, build self-esteem and gain a huge sense of achievement – the benefits of our school mural painting programs extend much further than the bricks they are painting on.

Working with students to build self-confidence, self-esteem and gain a huge sense of achievement.

Why should you consider a mural for your campus

Activates the Imagination

Public art activates the imagination and encourages people to pay attention and perceive more deeply the environment they occupy, and improves and beautifies school grounds.

Encourages Collaboration

Our mural programs require collaboration between artists, students, and teachers. By working together, students build collaborative team working skills. By learning these new skills, self-esteem and self-confidence are boosted.

Stimulates Learning

Murals stimulate learning and thought about art and society, about our interconnected lives, and about the social sphere. Our program provides real world learning and the opportunity to add the experience to a student portfolio.

“The positive energy the mural has generated has rippled throughout the school from students, staff and the wider community who have enjoyed the benefits the mural has brought.”

What is involved in organising a school mural?

Our Artists are Certified

All of our artists have valid working with children checks and public liability insurance. We can host a brainstorming session with a class of students or student committee to help develop a theme for the mural.

Support Materials Provided

We’ll also provide support materials about the artist for teachers to use in the classroom in the lead-up to mural painting workshops. These materials might include artist bios, links to work and information about their style of mural painting.

We appreciate how time-poor teachers are nowadays, which means that once you contact us, we organise everything for a school mural program – right down to a risk assessment.

Testimonials

Testimonials - School Murals

Erin Douglas, Visual Arts Teacher, Winmalee High School

“We are thrilled with Helen Proctor’s mural. The entire experience was amazing. The students are so proud of their work Thank you so much!”

Alison Ayling, Big Picture Team

“Our murals are incredible, they are brightening up the exterior of the school and have covered up existing graffiti on the street that reflected poorly on the school. We have had so many compliments from members of the public who walk past. The students who were involved in the project got so much out of it, and feel so proud of what they have helped achieve. It has inspired them to want to do more murals.”

Melissa Bean, Visual Arts Teacher

“Working with Jacinta was a straightforward process. She provided the right choice of mural artist for our school’s wall and he (Tim Phibs) created a vibrant work that the school is very happy with. I would definitely recommend and hope to work with Jacinta again.”

Amy Satchell, Head Teacher Administration, Year Adviser: Graduates 2018 A/ Librarian

Danijela Mitic, Head Teacher CAPA

“The Wall Station provides an excellent opportunity for students to work with a street artist, learning their techniques and artmaking process. Directly contributing to the actual painting of the mural and spending the day with the artist became the highlight of the students’ year at school. They were in awe of the artist (Mulga) and the fact they were working on an original mural created for the whole school. We look forward to working with The Wall Station and their Master the Walls Project again in future.”

Ingrid Oakley, Art Teacher

“It has been such an amazing experience working with the Wall Station. It was such an easy and straightforward process and the results have been absolutely outstanding.”
