THE BILLERICAY SECONDARY SCHOOL

The Year 11 Students at Billericay School had a project to decorate their Year 11 common room with a mural painting.

The work was to be done by the Year 11 students to enhance their space, make a statement, come up with a concept, develop designs and execute the work themselves. My part of the project was to help create inspiration, develop the ideas and design work and give practical techniques on painting and composition and work along side of them every step of the work.

The collaboration between the students was enthusiastic; the inspirational ideas were ambitious to say the least. The important thing was to keep the work achievable without letting the enthusiasm falter.
Sharing the work between all the participating students meant it came on in leaps and bounds. The total project took 2 weeks from concept to completion. All the students had great fun during the painting, learnt a lot and were proud of what they had achieved. This was a voluntary project; I was only reimbursed for the material I supplied.
