Workshops Conclude

Painting workshops for the Fort Morgan Mural Project have now concluded. No more will be held in August as originally scheduled.
“We have most of the tiles finished,” said Ann Iungerich, Mural project director. In addition, she noted, her mother’s unexpected surgery in August has forced Iungerich to wrap up the workshops sooner than planned.
“The response has been great,” Iungerich said. “We have a wide variety of tiles painted.”
Tiles, whether unfinished or not, can be turned in to Lanny at the Fort Morgan Library.
The mosaic mural will be unveiled on Sept. 18 at the Fall Harvest Car show.
For more information, email the project at fmmuralproject@gmail.com.

FAQs

#1 - Why are the tiles already painted??
The tiles already have a base color scheme to make sure that the mosaic pieces will all work together. If everyone follows the color scheme and design in their piece it will make up the overall design when all the squares are put back together.


If everyone just painted whatever they wanted, the mural would be total chaos!

#2 - Can I totally change the colors that are on the square I chose?
No. You need to follow the general color scheme of the square. If it was overall a light blue, you can use pastel colors to paint your square but it needs to be predominately blues. Think monochromatic color scheme with hints of others colors.
 
3# - Do I need to keep the main design elements in my square?
Yes. Those design elements are what will keep the overall design in tact. The edges can be softened but not totally deleted.

Announcement!!

Wiggins native and Channel9 News reporter Bazi Kanani will be painting a square for the Fort Morgan Mural project. Her memories of Fort Morgan include feeding the ducks at Riverside Park and her square may include a rendition of that memory.
