Wall in the German School of Dubai.

Art teacher Lisa’s been coming to Tashkeel for over two years trying to get us involved in one of their school walls. Lot of things happened in between, including a relocation of the school.
They have a stunning brand new school now with nice clean walls and I was lucky to paint on one of those. Well, me and fourteen students from class eleven.

We had a previous meeting were we discussed the subject: the quote by Aristoteles ‘The roots of education are bitter but the fruits are sweet’.
They worked on their own vision of this sentence, bringing nice drawings including pinapples, flying dragons, rainbows and lots of other stuff.

I made a selection from those ideas, added my own interpretation of the quote and came out with this design, that we all painted in 4 days. Really cool guys this class 11.
