Elliott Heads State School students will return after the Easter break to see their under-cover play area colourfully decorated with educational art.

They'll be jumping around on painted games including Snakes and Ladders, Twister and hopscotch.

It's part of a new “Raw Awakening” project of Urban Art Wide Bay.

Artist Jamie Kirby said the program is seeking funding.

“The work for schools is done at a very low cost to give a fun spin on education at children's lunch breaks,” he said.

“All games are education based to keep minds stimulated and focused while having fun.

“Raw Awakening is a local Bundaberg program and we look forward to painting all the schools.”

A turtle wall mural was recently installed at Kalkie State School and artwork was painted today at Bundaberg Central State School.

Jamie recently completed a stunning colourful butterfly mural at cancer treatment facility Genesis Care.

His inspiration is “the passion for art, seeing how it affects people in a positive way”.
