Lesson 2: - The Design
•Design & plan a mural
The rest of the time will be used to create a design.
Here are the dimensions for each of the 5 sections. You will need to make your design fit these proportions.
I drew one inch for one foot. To scale this to fit to paper you are working. 1. Match the corner of your page to the left corners of this image, draw a vertical line up from the length of your paper / page. Where it meet the diagonal line is the height of your design. Draw a horizontal line across from there. 
Lesson 3: - The Presentation
We will be presenting our designs to the principal.
How to mock up a design
            •          Plan colors
            •          Budget materials
