Schools, teams, clubs and communities; most people, at some point in their life, have found a sense of belonging within a group that shares a vested interest in the same activities and interests as they are. These experiences enrich the lives of individuals and the societies they live in, which is why it’s important to celebrate and encourage them. A great way to do this is by displaying a tile mural in your clubhouse, school-yard, Local Park or shopping centre for everyone to see and enjoy.
When you want to encourage kindness, unity, compassion and peace, a public collection of colourful, meaningful images and the process that goes into creating them is a great way to achieve it. With Jennoli Art, you can get any picture you like printed onto tiles that come together to form a powerful mural. This means that you can organise for your group, sporting club or local community to have a say in what images they would like to represent them before creating unique paintings or drawings that will eventually be displayed for all to see. Not only is the process itself incredibly rewarding, but the physical presence of a mural serves to remind anyone who sees it the value of community. In fact, studies have shown that people who feel a sense of belonging through things such as sporting teams or book clubs significantly decrease their chances of experiencing mental illness. People feel empowered, understood and comfortable when they bond with others that have the same interests as them, which means that encouraging this involvement in communities is a huge step towards creating a happier, more unified society.
Tile murals can also help to remind people of the important values and lessons that contribute most to thriving 
communities. Ideas such as equality, forgiveness, respect and love are the cornerstones of happy and peaceful groups of people and when we are surrounded by these ideas we are more likely to implement them in our everyday lives. Similarly, a prominent piece of artwork addressing the importance of certain topics, such as wearing a seatbelt [as pictured below], can be much more engaging and influential than more traditional educational methods. It is in this way that a simple tile mural can garner an incredible reaction from small groups and large communities alike.
