murals for kids with learning difficulties

a mural for an autistic child

Murals have different effects on different people. Nick Hallard of eyebright was asked to paint a mural for a nine year old boy's bedroom. He was autistic, and whilst interactivity and communication with other people was difficult for the child, his play world centred around films, toys from films and quoting lines from films. His favourite? Toy Story II. His favourite four characters are included in the mural, with his all-time favourite, Zurg, in the middle. Accuracy of depiction was key, as it simply wouldn't work unless it was an absolutely perfect copy of the characters. The mural was painted using acrylic paint and then treated with a wipe-clean sealant.
