Seeds of Success

The Seeds of Success Fence/Mural is a two-sided installation created for Yellowstone Schools. The inside displays a bright colorful environment for their students to enjoy at recess, and the outside shares Yellowstone’s message and goals with the greater third ward community.

The final design for the fence measured over 250 feet in length; when adding together both sides of the fence that’s over 500 ft of design.

The inside of the Mural is for the students of Yellowstone to enjoy at recess. Since Yellowstone is a Christian School, the mural showcases how faith and children’s aspirations are interwoven into their everyday school activities. Each section of the mural highlights a different school subject and utilizes a fun and vibrant design to make students excited to learn.

The outside of the mural is for the Third Ward community to enjoy whenever they visit Yellowstone or the area around it. The outside of the fence emphasizes the strong community and history of the third ward and how that showcases Yellowstone’s ideals of “inspire, empower and invest”. This serves as a celebration of the people and community of the third ward, and show Yellowstone’s pride in being a part of that.

Over 200 custom illustrations were created for this fence.

Both the inside and outside of the wall have interactive elements. On the inside there are several I-spy sections for the students to find hidden images throughout, and on the outside there are text boxes that tell the historical significance of some illustrations as well as the PRIDE acronym that Yellowstone school represents

The background includes a series of illustrated ‘style tiles’ that represent Yellowstone’s values and Christian ideals by breaking down the key ideas of the initiative into a modular, pattern-based system.
