It’s not often i do playground murals. I like to be selective of what schools i work with – only because its easy to become babysitters for kids, and the artist isn’t really respected. There are a few schools i would bend over backwards for, and Whitgreaves Primary School is one of them. I worked with their students to create this mural. This area will be transformed into an outdoor ‘garden’ teaching area, so the message had to reflect something about nature. I stumbled across the words of William Wordsworth – ‘Let Nature be your Teacher’ and that became the message. The imagery was taken from the childrens sketches and took over a week to do.
