Oakman Elementary School / Sponsored by United Way and Target
 This Bookworm mural was part of a library project funded by "The United Way" and "Target"
The goal was to show diversity and reading
I chose a theme of reading around the world
Along with famous quotes with in the theme of diversity, and reading
 This is me with 3 of the many volunteers from students to residents of the community sponsored by target and the United Way
 I made concepts for the volunteers to paint, creating an atmosphere of togetherness.
 Along with the World mural in the library, there were places for 7 different paintings to be hung
The
idea was the seven different continents, with animals that represent
that continent reading, and in the seven different colors of the
rainbow
 There was also time for little ones to create there own art
 The project was a success,
here is one of the designs, Asia, in Red with a Tiger Reading
Painted completely by one of the volunteers
 Here is the finished layout of the library
Continents arranged by the colors of the rainbow
 Overall it was a fulfilling experience that I would be proud to a part of again
 Thank you to United Way, Target and all the volunteers who helped achieve this vision for the library at Oakman Elementary
