Here again is the W5 of the mural.
Reaching Out to Transform the World with a Mural
Who - Grade 6/7 and the two grade 7/8 classrooms at Georges Vanier under the direction of Monique Martin, designed by special needs autistic student Jude Farthing, grade 3. In partnership with SUNTEP students from the Gabriel Dumont Institute, University of Saskatchewan, Education Students.
Jude being involved in the creation of the mural allowed him to find a niche where his special skills can be celebrated. As his mom said “It is permanent fridge art”. As an art educator, this project gives all students involved, including Jude, a sense of pride. Jude is a child with exceptional skills that are recognized by all those who see his work.
When –
Summer of 2011 Jude and Monique Martin worked on plans for the murals.
