“Chinese New Year” - January 2009
Phillips-Brooks School, Menlo Park, CA

Size: 20' x 8' Click for larger image


Designed and painted by students of 2 of Pamela Ritchey's 5th grade art classes, 36 students total.

Design process:
Each student drew his or her own dragon design/color scheme. We reviewed the designs and favorite elements were pulled out for the final design, which the students then colored in.


Painting process:
Ellen gridded and transferred the final drawing onto 5 4' x 5' boards, and the studetns painted them. It was a 6 week process for 2 classes, meeting once weekly for 90 minutes each.
