  2. Love your photos and ideas!!! We are planning our school's art show now- would love to borrow your 'the scream' idea... how did you suspend it? Is it hanging from the basketball hoop?

  3. Yes, please tell us how you went about creating this grid and what materials you used to hang it!

  4. Yes, it is hanging from the basketball hoop. I made A simple frame with pieces of wood and attached it to the frame. I added two screws and wrap the wire around them to hang from the basketball hoop. The mural is actually pasted onto a giant piece of cardboard and then that is attached to the wooden frame.

  5. How did you go about creating the actual huge mural? Did you do the sketch on each page and then have the students color/paint each single paper before putting it all together ?

  6. I would also love to know how you made the grid to or assignments for each page to then fit it together as a whole to make the complete mural. It looks amazing!!
