Visual Proceedings

[Peg Holman]

I have also used a Grafitti Wall with great results.  It was for a gathering
sponsored by St. Joseph's Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington.  They are in
the Hilltop area, a neighborhood that, for a while was on the national news
because of the frequency of drive-by shootings.  The OS had social service
providers and neighborhood residents focused on "Building a Healthy Hilltop
Community".  We titled a blank mural "Our picture of a Healthy Hilltop",
provided colored markers and invited people to paint the picture as they
envisioned it.  Throughout the day, the image blossomed.  By the end, the
mural was so stunning that the hospital hung it in a public place in their
building.

PS I always have a Grafitti Wall as well - for people to add whatever they
wish - and they do - all sorts of words, graphics etc.  My experience is
that the graphic facilitator becomes an addition, definitely not
replacement - someone who holds the pen for others to record in another way
what THEY want.  Obviously the person needs to be of the right tone (just
as the facilitation of the OS itself)
