These panels painted in
1999 will beautify Rere School for many years to come. The project
had a very positive effect on student self-esteem, they are an expression
of fantastic creative talents.

As with our larger panels students:
first sketched from either
a real life source as was the case with the guitar paintings
or quality photographs as in the case of the bird theme paintings,
transferred their sketches
photo copying and reduced size onto overhead transparency and
then projecting the picture onto their ply panel and outlining
it in black Vivid marker,
practices blending and
mixing their colours before painting on the panel
were familiar with the
colour wheel and mixing shades and tints prior to painting the
panels,
were taught a variety of
brush work techniques,
used quality acrylic paints,
worked on their backgrounds
first,
often reworked areas and
built up the layers of colour to make it interesting,
worked on ply panels flat
before they were mounted.
