My Tempo School mural in Edmonton celebrates students, teachers and the school founder, Dr. Cormack. This mural uses a sweeping curved composition that brings together different scenes in a montage with colour and brush strokes.
It's so easy to paint students in an positive, inspirational wall mural because I am captivated by their expressions and responses as they learn. I painted these high school girls are with their hands up, eager to share in class.
The front entrance of Tempo School is portrayed in this Edmonton school mural with a group of boys playing soccer on the front lawn. A girl with a head scarf walks to the school entrance, as does a teacher chatting with a student.
Elementary school students were painted jumping, playing and doing cartwheels and handstands on the bright green lawn of Tempo School. It was important to show many positive aspects within this school wall mural, including kids playing and being kids.
A young female student takes notes attentively above two girls planning their chemistry project in the science classroom. It was a pleasure painting a school mural with different academic electives and students learning different subjects.
I painted a teacher in conversation with her students, who have gathered close for this classroom lesson. Showing positive and inspirational classroom scenes was an important feature of this Edmonton school mural.
A young man in Tempo high school concentrates on his education in the classroom. Painting a school wall mural with motivational themes and ideas was greatly helped by reference pictures provided by Tempo School.
A young girl with blonde hair concentrates on writing her schoolwork during the 1970's at Tempo School. Painting the expressions and body language of young students focusing on a task is one of my favourite aspects of a school education mural.
A graduating high school class were painted in front of the Holy Trinity Alliance Church in Strathcona, Edmonton. As this location is a Tempo tradition for every graduation ceremony, it found a home in the acrylic school mural.
No one is ever to old to be a child and play, least of all Conan the Barbarian. If viewers look closely, Conan can be found in this Edmonton, AB school mural hanging from a tree while students are playing in the foreground.
