Background to mural creation:
The Te Wharau School mural is based on the work of Pablo Picasso. The painting 'Girl in a mirror' was used as the motivation for the designs the children created. Year 6 art extension students were selected for the project, which consisted of painting the back boards, followed by the head shapes. Everything was then screwed into place on the backboard in a sequence determined by the children.
