Mural Creation :
ELCHS Part 3 : Life Skills
As part of the
on-going mural project for East Lee County High-school ( http://elc.leeschools.net )
I am creating mural
pieces for their Life Skills classes. These classes are taught by dedicated teachers
helping to teach and train children through a wide and varied degree of
disabilities. In 2001 The U.S. congress reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act. For more information on the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001”

Below is are the two murals for their Life Skills areas:
The overlaid words “Respect” and "Personal Courage" come from the leadership characteristic words of the ROTC which is funding
this fun and creative project. For more information on the ROTC visit: www.todaysmilitary.com
Each puzzle piece is
blended with two shades of Olympic Latex enamel to create a depth effect.
and will be top
coated for protection using Minwax Polycrlic :
Both products are
available through Lowes:
I love my work and am
blessed to every day to create, but I must say this area touched my heart and
so close to home. My wonderful nephew was diagnosed with an extreme level of
autism. So I know first- hand the dedication it takes for these teachers and
care-givers.
On Saturday February 8,2014 I had the blessing
of being part of a fund raiser for Charlotte County Florida schools for their
autism classes. The goal is to ensure that each class will ultimately have the
sensory equipment needed for the Life Skills students.
