Young Artists: Come Paint A New Mural At The Alley Art Wall!

Valley Middle School Explore Wheel teachers Mr. Snyder and Mrs. Roon are inviting students to participate in a mural painting and hands on digital photo experience at the Alley Art Wall on Sunday, March 10th, 10 a.m.– 2 p.m. You can find the wall at 550 Grand Ave. in Carlsbad Village.

Carlsbad elementary school students are invited to help paint a mural with Carlsbad artist and Valley Middle School art teacher Mr. Snyder. The wall will be prepped with a fun and colorful design and all supplies will be provided courtesy of the Alley Art Wall.

In addition to the painting experience, digital photo teacher, Mrs. Roon, will be facilitating a hands-on photo experience. Students will be invited to capture the mural painting through a digital camera. Cameras will be provided.

“We are looking to provide a fun and inspiring day for students while also introducing them to some amazing elective classes offered at Valley Middle School,” Mr. Snyder said. The Explore Wheel is the perfect option for students looking to try multiple creative classes throughout the school year.”

Mr. Snyder and Mrs. Roon each teach classes on the Explore Wheel. This elective option is available to all incoming Valley Middle School 6th graders. If incoming 6th graders choose the Explore Wheel, they will explore art with Mr. Snyder for 13 weeks before rotating to Mrs. Roon’s digital photo class for the next 13 weeks. Other exciting classes will be added to the Explore Wheel experience filling out an inspiring year.

The Alley Art Wall, home to 17 permanent murals, was established by Snyder in 2021 in partnership with the Carlsbad Boys and Girls Club. It serves as a space for aspiring muralists of all ages to practice their artistic talents. Don't miss this chance to make a mark this weekend from 10am - 2pm!
