A Butterfly Garden

I had decided to create this as an idea for the outdoor classroom mural at my school. I used the idea of butterflies and a female figure as my idea when creating this. I took ideas from a picture I found on google as my help when I drew this. I designed different butterfly wings and coloured them different, bright colours that hopefully will brighten our school and make everyone a bit happier each day. These colours are warm happy colours. I also used water colour paint to have the butterflies look like the colour from their wings are dripping. It gives it a beautiful outlook which I liked.

 Society plays an impact on this drawing as people may see this as inappropriate  for a catholic school to have a girl's back bare as it may seem too "revealing" but it isn't that bad as it is just her back and nothing else is being revealed. However, I respect the school rules; I am more than excited and proud of the mural that is to be created soon!

We have gotten a yes from the VPs and hopefully the mural will be in progress soon. This way when I come and visit in the next couple of years I will see the beautiful mural that my  grade 12 art class has created. I am lucky to have a part of my design be apart of the mural. I also created a mural last year in my grade 11 design class which is located at the front of the school. It took a lot of time and effort but in the end, we are all glad with the outcome and the teamwork we did in creating it.
