Introducing You To Two Group Art Mural Examples: The ‘Find Your Confidence’ and ‘Find Your Courage’ Murals

Collaborative art projects offer a unique and empowering experience, especially for young people who may not realise their creative potential. At Aberfoyle Park High School, two recent group art murals were created. “Find Your Confidence” (2022) focused on fostering confidence among year ten and eleven girls. “Find Your Courage” (2023) aimed to develop courage and teamwork in another, larger group of year 10 and eleven girls. These large-scale examples of public group art murals transformed blank walls into vibrant expressions of creativity. They also encouraged students to embrace the process of working together. The students achieved something remarkable.

A Group Art Mural Example: The ‘Find Your Confidence’ Mural

In 2022, the “Find Your Confidence” group art mural at Aberfoyle Park High School was created. A group of year ten and eleven girls worked on it. This was part of a collaborative art project. The goal was to boost their confidence through public art. The process began with Messy Playing. Participants used large brushes and sponges to prime the wall. They then painted vibrant circles and patterns in warm colours. As the mural evolved, artists added layers of accessible patterns. They then culminated with a final touch of “bling” using paint pens, glitter, and even nail polish! The mural became a colorful and inspiring focal point in the school. It reminds the students of the power of teamwork. It also encourages them to try something new and see what they can achieve. They can do more than they think is possible…

Another Group Art Mural Example: The ‘Find Your Courage’ Mural

In 2023, 18 year ten and eleven girls took part in the “Find Your Courage” group art mural. This event was held at Aberfoyle Park High School. It was created to help build their confidence through a public art project. The mural started with Messy Playing. Large brushes and rollers were used to prime the wall. Then, they painted circles, blended colours, and added spirals and patterns. Layers of accessible patterns were added to enhance visual interest, focusing on overlapping and refining details. The final “bling” layer included intricate designs using paint pens, with each student’s name hidden within the mural. This group art mural became an inspiring centerpiece at the school. It symbolizes courage and collaboration. Students admire it every day as they visit and walk past the canteen. The girls received 10 SACE points. These points went towards their High School Diploma. This was for the program that included this mural project, along with other community based activities.
