Sensory Area Side Wall Mural


Our Galaxy

Aurora

.

These two images are bright & bold which may be ideal to produce for a Sensory area. They could be produced in several different mediums i.e. pastel on black card, water colour, acrylic, acrylic inks, or oil. We could make it totally mixed media using several types of painting/drawing, also add glitter, shiny stick on stars etc. They would provide a contrast with the childlike cartoon style imagery of the main mural. The "Our Galaxy" image may be a suitable alternative option to the Deep Space Background images http://copdartwork.blogspot.com/2011/04/sensory-area-deep-space-images.htmlI have proposed as part of my design sketches.

Nemo like Space Rocket

Flower Power Space Rocket. Additional characters can be added to portholes, such as frequent, special patients, members of staff or other child friendly characters.


Astronaut character. Face detail to be added based on suggestions for Flower Power Rocket above.

Space Rocket Height Chart

A Penguin Shaped Space Rocket Height Chart may be produced on Foamex & may be fixed to the pillar to the left of the bay in which the Sensory area is located. My image has Bambi, Dumbo & Giraffe characters to represent different heights. Exact details of heights & accuracy to be agreed if a height chart project is undertaken. Note allowance in the height measurements will need to be made for the skirting board surrounding the bottom of the pillar if measurements are to be accurate.

Sensory Area Deep Space Background

The Deep Space Background area will take up two thirds of the main mural directly above the foreground images of views from earth. My intention is to make it as bright & textured as possible. See coloured image example which directly follows this post. It is to include a mixture of media e.g. watercolour, acrylic, acrylic ink, stick on stars, glitter dust to make it bright & interesting. The background will feature a large bright smiley Sun in the top right corner. The inner planets, Mercury, Earth, Venus & Mars. The asteroid belt. The outer planets, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus & Pluto. There may also be comets, stars, galaxies various characters, rockets etc depending on those chosen to be printed on 5mm Foamex. To add to the sensory effect it was hoped that the projector currently not being used in the Butterfly area could be moved to the sensory area to project light shape/images on to the mural. If this is not possible a cheaper alternative may be if we were to be able to have holes drilled through the mural by the printers through which Christmas lights could protrude to provide an impression of stars. I am not sure if this would be agreeable & meet health & safety requirements but it is an option. Deep Space Background images will follow this post.
