Just how much spray paint does a mural require? Using proportions, graffiti artists determine the amount of supplies needed to complete a mural. The creative resource shows how to determine the area of composite figures and uses that calculated area to determine the amount of paint needed. Pupils design a simple mural made from composite shapes and calculate how much paint they must have to complete their mural.
