3 Mural Types for Schools

This is the three main types of mural themes I work with that I find the most flexible and adaptable for schools. With each theme, it can be the dominant feature but still use elements from the other themes too.

  • Words & Phrases
  • Organic & Abstract
  • Quirky Fun Characters

Words & Phrases Murals

By using words of motivation and goodwill as the main feature of the mural. This could also use your school motto.

Organic & Abstract Murals

By using organic and abstract forms to create a nice feeling for the space. By this method, the mural is open to interpretation with the focus on being positive.

Quirky Fun Characters & Animal Murals

Sometimes the wall mural needs to be filled with fun. By using this approach a landscape combined with made-up characters and animals can be uplifting as a mural.

Master of School Murals & Workshops

Originally I was trained in fine arts with a focus on illustration, painting and letterpress (hand set typography). Later on I learnt to use Photoshop and Illustrator combined with other modern digital illustration software techniques.

Now with this combination of traditional & digital illustration I focus my work around commercial murals for schools. As a street artist if I can to contribute a positive learning space through art that makes the place more enjoyable for people then my imagination and creativity has served me well.
