This has been the most exciting thing yet. I really love checkered patterns, as they closely resemble a Burtonesque (or Tim Burton) style. They are also used in many surreal interiors. I feel that both these designs sum up what theme the classroom is heading towards.

Here is a summary of how we did it (you need at least 5 hours):
  • The wall was painted with a base paint of white 
  • The next day we drew up evenly size squares using a large ruler and attached masking tape to the outside of the squares that were to be black
  • We painted alternating squares black 
  • The next day the masking tape was removed

Thank you to my friends who came for the day and offered their help! Check out our photo gallery to see more of how it came together and the beautiful faces of those that helped.
