Farm to Table Mural

Paint Love founder Julie McKevitt helped the Garden Club at Dowell Elementary School create a collaborative mural of farm fresh fruits and veggies for their cafeteria! Dowell Elementary in West Cobb County is in their 2nd year of sponsoring a "Let's play in the dirt" Gardening Club with students in grades K-3. This mural explored how food gets to our plates from farm to table. 

This mural, created over three days, was made in Paint Love’s signature “grid mural” style, where each student gets their own 4”x 4” canvas and all the pieces come together to create a collaborative masterpiece. 

Collaboration across grades is often a challenge for teachers, but we’ve learned when multiple grades get to work together on something, it creates a strong sense of community in the school as students get the rare opportunity to work on something together that strengthens pride in their space and community!
