Dalby Shoppingworld Mural

Year 9 Visual Art designed and painted a mural at the Dalby Shoppingworld underground carpark based on a 2019 theme. Students considered the 2019 theme and considered components carefully.  The earth represents how the general public is starting to realise that we need to take care of the earth with ideas of stewardship being in the forefront of popular thinking. The puzzle pieces on the figure reflects the acceptance of races and diversity. She becomes a universal figure for us all as she holds the globe in her hand, presenting the responsibility of the world for future generations. This further highlights how we are global citizens. The repetitive palm leaves depict nature and the devised quote illustrates the magnitude of self-care and respect. Their design was produced at school to scale in colour on paper first, with approval from Centre Management at the Shopping centre to then reproduce on the wall at the location near the travelator. The mural size is over 2 metres long. Students in Year 9 Visual Art that undertook this activity were Emmason McIlveen, Mackenzie Wedrat, Phoebe O’Connor, Anna Lilburne, Dakota Wilson and Alyssa Ferguson painted the design on Saturday 4 May from 9am to 3pm. All students should be very proud of this collaborative mural, it is certainly a very professional and well-considered design.
