This mural was completed by a group of dual enrollment students who were participating in the Bethel University Global Studies Alternative Spring Break program. Many of the students did not have experience painting. We wanted everyone, no matter the skill level, to be able to participate in bringing this mural to life. So, I arrived in Costa Rica a few days ahead of the group to prep the mural. I projected the prepared digital drawing onto the wall to make guide marks. The next day, the line work was put in place and letters were added to signify certain colors. When the students arrived, I mixed the paint and they went to work. After the students color blocked the mural, I went back in to clean up line work. Huzzah! We made magic!
