I am SO excited with how the Handprint Wall Mural that my student at the high school turned out! Each handprint belongs to an art student at Cyril High School and the students were encouraged to pick one of the colors from the color wheel and decorate them with a decorative pattern or some type of design that included a hobby they enjoy or something that represents them personally.
We started the handprints on Tuesday, our first day of school and finished them up today! Really proud of my students. They really put some thought into their designs and took their time to make them nice and detailed.
The quote at the top of the mural says, "We are each unique & special, but together we make a masterpiece!" Just take a look at the picture from day one with only a few handprints finished. They still look great, but the more you add, the more amazing the mural becomes. So true with each of our students. Each of their handprints looked great, but when you take the talents of each individual and put them together, they really do make a masterpiece.
Life Lesson Bonus for you...One of the topics that my husband Adam & I enjoy teaching and church and in the community, is on Personalities. The lesson that I learn from the workshop is that we all have unique personalities, but it really does take all kinds to make the world go around. I'm a pretty detail oriented person and like order, plus I have kind of a "take charge" personality. My husband on the other hand is very kind and compassionate and a very loyal friend. My dad is the kind of personality who is super social, really loves being around other people and is a GREAT storyteller. He can make a trip to the grocery store sound like a grand adventure. I've always envied those types of personalities...they're usually the really popular kids or the people you want to hang out with, but as I've gotten older, I've learned to really appreciate the differences that I find in people and appreciate myself as well. I hope that in my time with my students this year, that's one of the things I can share with them...to really be content with who they are and what they have to offer the world. AND to appreciate the differences in the people they are are in school with and then go on to use this skill in their journeys through life.
With that said...I'm really looking forward to the upcoming school year because I'm seeing some real talent from some of my students!
