[CALIBK12] library art

[S. Shanahan]

Part of the art mural process is submitting drawings for approval.  Most 
muralists can't paint the big picture until they show what it will look like 
on a scaled down image.  I'd bet creating a submissions project would go 
over well.  You could also incorporate requirements like the DDC and 
Information Literacy as part of the mural and the teacher could require 
cover letters and proposal statements to fit the CA standards.

Math would love it, too, because of the scaling process.  :)

With all of those elements, you can't really go wrong, and you'll get final 
approval of any images!

Have fun!
