How To Make School Mascot Murals

By Christine Olson


Ever since you were still a little kid, your parents have already been pestering you about going to school. It sure is annoying to listen to the exact same thing over and over again. Because of that, you just wish to disappear from the face of the Earth. Probably every single teenager can relate to this one.

But then again, we actually cannot blame our folks from doing so. After all, this also is for your own benefit. Your future self sure will thank you for working hard right now. But then again, just because you need to do it does not mean you cannot splurge on a little fun. You may try making school mascot murals.

One of probably the most common ways of expressing how you really feel is through showing your emotions based on the creations you make. Aside from it being therapeutic, you also get recognition, and even cash from it. But before mastering the craft, you need to read and follow these steps first.

The very first thing that you must do is plan and list down every single detail which will be applied to your project. It totally is of absolute necessity to never forget the little things. These small and miniscule details actually are the ones to give life to your art. Without it, your outcome will seem lame.

Number two is to decide on and finalize the measurements of the thing you will do. Size actually matters. But then again, this also depends on the space you are working on. It probably would be better to use a big portion of space so that your work gets easily seen by people who are actually interested or just passing by.

A mural is a work of art placed somewhere which can be see by the public or the general people. You may think of it as contributing your talent without any payment at all. Because of the need to make it on a public place, you will want to check on it first. Some preparations may still be necessary.

Paint the base of your entire working space first before starting with more complicated colors. Not doing so will make the artwork harder to handle since you currently are working with various and different hues of bases. Having it in the exact same color totally makes your work more easier for you.

Try painting from the background image and work your way into the front. Changing everything up again and again takes so much more time rather than not having to do it anymore. So before proceeding with your main picture, make sure that you already have your background done and completed already.

The last but definitely not the least is coating everything with liquid seal. Whether it is on water based form on inside a can, it still does not matter as long as you get to cover every nook and cranny of the image. Leaving a spot unprotected could start a problem for not just one part but the whole piece.
