thornhill elementary school project (oakland, ca)
video produced by mavis scanlon
the challenge: beautify and enliven four super drab (municipal beige!) portable classroom units.
total area to be painted: 1,600 sq ft (4 x 10'h x 40'w)
theme: education is fun! learning is fun! when kids study and learn well, they are limited only by their dreams and imagination.
the school is located in the hills of oakland, california so the scenes are reflective not only of oakland's landmarks and landscapes but also its cultural diversity.
