Jemicy Upper School Workshops

Murals of Baltimore and Mr. Michael Kirby was contracted by Jemicy Upper School to create workshops and a mural with the students for the Upper School and a series of chalk art workshops to co-inside with the Little Italy Madonnari Festival. Mr. Kirby worked and held classes in the school in Baltimore County about the mural process for students. Mr. Kirby works closely with school administrators and teachers to create a program that will help all the participating students. Students learn the various techniques of mural painting and how to work as a team. Students worked with soft pastels, pigments, tempura and acrylics on the projects as well as a course in Photoshop. Students work side by side in effort to create one design that incorporates the views of all the students. Students learn to work for others and social etiquette.

Many projects involve creating paintings on boards and then placed in ceilings and walls.
