Our Helpful Hands Mural

Community helpers keep our world running! This project helps students understand the roles of people who help us (like doctors, bakers, teachers, police officers, farmers) and celebrate them through collaborative art. Inspired by Keith Haring’s energetic and colourful style, students will create their own “helping hands” figure and contribute to a class mural that shows how people organise our world together.
