“Our School, Our Community” mural
Dena Seiferling, Calgary artist, Nov 2008
![Page 29: Rosscarrock School We are your neighbourhood School 2010-2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/568142ae550346895daeeea6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Artist StatementMy name is Dena Seiferling and I am a freelance illustrator. In 2008 I worked with Rosscarrock School to create a mural. I had the wonderful opportunity of involving the students in the mural making process. Each class, kindergarten to grade six, participated with me in a brainstorming session. We shared words and images that express the way they feel about their school, and why their school is special. The students then worked individually on their own message, completing a piece of artwork. These visions inspired me to create my ideas for the mural.
The completed mural is located in the front entrance of the school. The first image introduces ‘Rosscarrock School’ and incorporates the element of diversity. The second image blends all of what makes the school special into a whole. The colours are vibrant and express the positive energy that radiates from Rosscarrock School.
