                                Creating a Mural Step by Step 
                                     
                                  Inspiration + Brainstorming = Mural Theme
                                 What if?  Let’s try this……How about?
                                Brainstorming is a process where everyone’s ideas are voiced and gathered without prejudging them. 
                                This creates a flow of ideas and images to work with.

                                We create drawings using simple shapes to stylize the different elements
                                we will use to illustrate our mural theme

                                By using the color wheel to pick a color scheme
                                we make sure that all of our colors will blend together harmoniously
