Splatter Painting Murals

Last Thursday SMMS Design had an amazingly fun day painting colorful murals at the Boys and Girls Club, Hackensack. This mural session was especially memorable because the kids, ages 5 through 12, were the painters! They helped us paint wonderful dotted shapes, adding detail to a mysterious landscape mural. We did not want to give away what the mural was, which left the kids guessing all day. And let me say, their interpretations were so much more creative then anything we would have told them. Along with the landscape mural, we also painted a rainbow-colored dripping Peace sign in the stairwell, and more rainbow-colored splatter paint around the games room.
We really enjoyed painting at the club, all the kids were so eager and excited to contribute to the mural. In the evening when some of the parents came to pick them up, they rushed them up stairs to show off their portion of the mural with such pride! Those kids are so ready to be strong community helpers.
