Winklebury Youth Club mural
Here you can see the results! Everyone who attended made one mural by layering photographs onto a board in an abstract and random way. The other mural was produced by projecting slides onto the wall. The images were then outlined and painted. The mural was completed by adding a border of photographs around the edge.
