Youth Create Mural

A new mural has been created by youth from the Fort Frances area.

Local artist Lindsay Hamilton helped facilitate the project at a recent Confederation College sponsored arts camp.

Hamilton says the 11 to 13 year olds fully captured the idea of metamorphosis, transition and transformation.

"I was nervous,"says Hamilton. "I didn't really know if they were going to have the sophistication to understand and stick with it as well as collaborated with it. But honestly, this was the best class I ever taught."

Entitled Timmy's World, the mural includes images of the real world centring a surreal landscape.
