For my latest mural at a therapy center for children with special needs, I brainstormed with the kids to figure out what they would imagine on the wall. They came back with sketches of animals, nature, and wild-looking clouds, symbolizing freedom. I then collected all these ideas and tried to build my own universe around them, developing a central concept!
I really enjoyed involving the children in a project and watching their creativity flow. It also challenged me in a way to develop ideas for a mural and look at it from a different perspective.
