The dragon theme was chosen by the youth and
inspired by the snakelike shape of the concrete barrier. The dragon
appealed to the youth as being a mythical creature that is present in
many different cultures. The mural incorporates imagination, colour and
creativity in dramatically changing the appearance of this drab strip
plaza. The mural served as a training ground for the youth to learn new
skills in design, colour mixing, shading and texture. On site, they
learnt the practical applications of risk management and also dealing
with community interaction. |
