Scraping, Sealing, Priming 60 meters.

Participants of last years project and newcomers from the neighborhood were eager to participate every single day.

We were shown personal collections of the towns historical symbols, like this Carro de boi.

Group Leaders, Grupo Tumm participants, passerby’s and the curious all grabbed a brush and contributed to the town mural.

A young artist from the neighborhood, who participated in last years project lived up to his nickname “Spiderman” as he would quickly climb anywhere to make sure every angle of the wall was painted properly.

Although we had great hot light in the morning, we had to battle the daily storms.

Some days were shortened, but at every chance of good weather, everyone eagerly showed back up willing to continue the project.

Inauguration.

Grupo Tumm – Mococa, Grupo Tumm – Igarai, Mural Participants, Contributors, Town Politicians, Pastors, families, shop owners, the youth and the elderly gathered to show their support and announce the new historical mural that was made by the town of Igarai.

Point of Culture

Each one of us makes their own story, and every human being has the power of being happy

To cap off the entire project / workshops, some of the Grupo TUMM members, Isac and local friends came together for a breakdance battle, separated in a team vs. team platform.

Pintar

JDN — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:21:41 +0000

Today we begin to paint at our first site, the school. Everyone shows up eager to start painting. We accomplish much more than we expect.

The color palette was chosen among the collaborative groups, which were all mixed tones. Although some of the teens knew how to mix basic colors, Isac and Jonathan taught each apprentice how to lighten and darken colors with the use of other colors.

Preparing the murals

JDN — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 16:45:48 +0000

After working in collaborative groups, the teens designed variations of the mural and collectively chose which elements for a final composition, which was a mixture of each group’s design.

Grupo TUMM provided us with a light projector, which Jonathan, Isac & their peer leaders used to start the design outlines.
