Radford College Mural & Workshop
The art department at Radford College wanted to have a student mural workshop along with painting a shipping container outside the classrooms.
School Mural Workshop
The mural’s design emerged from a collaborative endeavour, reflecting the passions of visual arts students. Guided by Bjarni, the students delved into the nuances of crafting a large-scale masterpiece, from inception to the final strokes of the brush.

Through the mural workshop, some common themes for the mural were identified with the students. Bright colours, flowers, birds and imagination.
Students from years 7 through 11 helped paint parts of the mural onto the shipping container.
Now a centrepiece in the visual arts domain, the mural exudes a dynamic aura, igniting inspiration in not only the art students but also all who pass by.
This undertaking underscores the value of hands-on learning beyond traditional classroom settings. When art transcends individual expression to become a shared journey, and its presence in public spaces is felt, its impact resonates deeply. It serves as a testament to art’s ability to engage communities in vibrant and meaningful ways, extending beyond the confines of galleries and museums.







A second mural has been painted at Radford College in another student common area to help revitalise the school grounds.
