Outstanding 8th grade Art I student Adelaide Shearer completed a mural project in the GMS cafeteria. Out of a request from the cafeteria staff, and a successful doodle project Adelaide made in 7th grade art, the idea was generated. A mock drawing was made and then modified to fit the wall space. The mural was drawn with charcoal and then finalized with a vibrant fine art graffiti marker. Thank you Adelaide!
