Garden Mural Genesis

ByS.H. Johnson
Garden Mural Genesis

At Project Prepare’s Summer Arts Camp, I collaborated with a group of twenty young artists to create public artwork for our community gardens. Working from my conceptual drawings and paintings, it took about a month of day camp for us to complete this mural for the Foster Elementary School Garden. This short animated film shows the genesis of the design and the transformation of the site into the Garden’s Gate, using stop motion animation and time-lapse cinematography. It was shot on color reversal Super 8mm film with a Leicina Super camera and Intervalometer.
