MURALS IN CENTRALAMERICA

Create capacities within the adolescents and progress inside the communities

MURALISM : ACTIVITIES

• Choose a subject, give a speech to the participants in order to make them thinking

• Let the participants paint about the narrated subject or history

• Choose a wall and prepare it • Cuadricular pared y pasar el dibujo• Families, teachers, children and corporate

volunteers help to paint the mural• Duration: 2-4 afternoons according to extent

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

• The general objective is to create capacities (as leadership, self-love, pride, discipline and teamwork) in vulnerable individuals or groups of people from communities in social risk by the use of creative processes and thus to sustain peace in Centroamerica.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

• When we paint a mural in an extremly poor community we help to embellish the environments but at the same time we pass a clear message that communicates ideas and ideals to everybody who sees the result.

• Even further across the message that we passed to the community through the mural, we instituted a sense of satisfaction of seeing one's own work on a wall exposed to the public. The entire community contributes to the execution of murals.

• By the use of this activity we get to reintegrate the community and its habitants in a milieu full of creativity and companionship in which we integrate private enterprises, public institutions and civic society. It is a celebration of differences and ideal space to express and understand ourselves.

FIRST STEP

• Boys and girls paint about a topic that has been chosen before, in that particular case: MI VIDA EN LA ESCUALA (MY LIFE IN SCHOOL)

SECOND STEP

• We make a draft with elements of each drawing of the participating children.

THIRD STEP

• Preparing the wall

Rasterizing of the wall Sketching of the painting

FOURTH STEP

MURAL BRITT ABRIL 2011

After this we paint and apply colors. That way we teach the participants about the theory of colors and methods of painting. We also create a space to interchange ideas, needs, life stories, desires. Some rexolve misunderstandings, enjoy and relax in an ambiance full of harmony, discipline and comprehension. It is not only a mural, it is a space open to expression where comes up a direct dialogue between boys, girls, adolescents, teachers, parents, volunteers of private enterprises and universities. I can affirm that a cultural artistic work is an accurate approximation from enterprises or institutions towards a community in risk.
