A few months ago I visited Mariners Christian School in the O.C. to give my Italian Street Painting Workshop. I've been teaching the workshops at schools throughout Southern California through the Orange County Performing Art Center's Arts Teach program for the last 4 years. The school requested I help the students create a larger than life painting to celebrate Grandparents and Special Persons day held annually at the school. I designed and drew the image prior to the students arrival. After a presentation on the history of street painting and inspiring images, we head out to begin the painting.
Within 3 hours the students painted the entire image with beautiful results. They created a very warm welcome for their Grandparents!
