Nutter Fort Primary students unveil ‘Habitats' mural
CLARKSBURG, (WBOY) — Nutter Fort Primary proudly unveiled its student-created mural Friday afternoon. During a two-week STEAM program led by art teacher Natalie Quillin, students came up with ideas for a habitat-themed mural. Quillin then enlisted local community muralist Bernie Wilke, who painted the background of the mural. After the background was complete, students tapped into their creative side to paint animals within the artwork that would be installed in their school's 'Secret Garden.' Elementary school students release trout in Mason-Dixon Historical Park Nutter Fort Primary Student Carson Wray told 12 News the experience fed into his love of art. 'I just like drawing,' Wray said. 'I have an art table in my house that I always like go downstairs in my house to draw.' Quillin explained that the project was made possible through a $10,000 grant from the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture, and History. She said that art plays an important role as an outlet for kids as well as a way for children to get more engaged with school. 'It's not always that you get to do something on this scale in an art class,' Quillin said. She added that the mural adds color and excitement to the environment and that it draws kids in. 'If you can get them to this point where they get to see, you know, a turtle or an animal, then you can get them on into their classroom,' Quillin said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
