Narrative description of proposed art:
The design concept that has been approved for this mural is abstract with a plethora of full, vibrant colors. The approved color palette was inspired by the cultural roots of the community. The colors for each section of the mural will be assigned to that area so that the design looks cohesive and aesthetically pleasing from an aerial (bird's eye) view but each section will be unique in character. (Design will be shared with selected team)

Mural Design Considerations:
- Avoid the use of clearly written messages, logos, advertisements
- All existing street markings must remain fully visible
- Avoid shapes that might be confused with existing traffic control devices or pavement markings

Installation approach:

The crosswalk and asphalt surfaces will be swept prior to starting mural painting.Traffic cones, barricades, caution tape, 2-3 police to manage traffic will be in place before any painting begins. The designated mural areas will be primed. An outline of the mural will be sketched, lead by the expert artists. The asphalt will then be covered in color according to the proposed\approved color palate using rollers and outdoor exterior house paint with help from volunteers. Two to three coats of paint may be needed because asphalt soaks up paint.The final step will be detailing and outlining using aerosol spray paint which will be applied by the professional artists. A top coat will be applied.

Team\Mentorship approach:
The 16 person team will be divided into smaller sub teams of 3 - 4 people. Groups will be assigned specific areas of the mural to work on. The youth artists will be given step by step instruction to enhance and strengthen their skills. Several of the advanced artists may be "floaters" and help where ever help is needed.
