Every fall I paint a huge mural to post outside of my classroom. I have a large bulletin board in the hall, covered in glass. It's 91 inches wide by 55 inches tall. Big.
I have been doing this for twenty years, including this year.
I base the theme on a current summer movie. The movie has to be appropriate for middle schoolers to see, so 'Hung, the movie' ** would not be a wise choice.
It usually takes me a week to design and paint. This years honoree is the movie The Smurfs.
Here's a sneak peak of the beginnings.....
More to come as I proceed..... (there's a reason why they are not all blue....I'm the boss of the brush.)**'Hung the Movie' is not really a movie, but Hung is an actual TV program. It's about an ex school teacher who is divorced with two high school kids that have, um, issues. He shares them with his ex wife (Ann Heche) and they have issues as well. Things are not going well for him in every way until he discovers how the fact that he's, um, well 'hung', is an attribute that could make him a LOT of money, especially with an 'agent'. The warped side of me loved this show. I think it was HBO, but you can find it to watch online somewhere. Just google 'watch Hung' and see what you get. It was quirky, and I like quirky.
BYW, you never really see how well hung he is, so you have to use your imagination.
I have a very good imagination.
