Jimmi offers a Public Art in Schools program to primary and secondary schools which he has run in schools across Victoria since 2018.
The program involves two main parts. The first is a school mural, developed by Jimmi with help from a focus group of interested students and staff. This mural is painted by Jimmi during school hours and students are able to watch the development of the mural from a blank wall to a finished artwork across a full school week. Students are encouraged to come and hang out with Jimmi during their recess and lunch breaks, where they can simply sit and watch, or can use the opportunity to chat with Jimmi about all sorts of aspects of public and visual art, and working in a career in the visual arts. There can also be the chance of some students working with Jimmi on the mural.
The second part of the Public Art In Schools Project involves pre-incursion classroom activities. For this, Jimmi includes a licensed copy of his two Trick of the Eye Workbooks. For younger students there is "Jimmi’s Trick of the Eye Colouring Workbook", where students first colour in and then cut out one of twelve specially designed colouring sheets. Students then use a camera or device to find the perfect viewing “sweet spot” where their artwork appears to be popping off the page in 3D. For older secondary students, there is "Jimmi’s Trick of the Eye 3D Street Art Workbook", which uses the same techniques, but upscales the artworks and takes the students outside onto the pavement, where they get to create their very own 3D Trick of the Eye chalk artwork.
There is more explanation as well as photos and videos regarding Jimmi's Trick of the Eye Workbook available on my website here. These two Trick of the Eye workbooks are supplied as a digital printable download, and offered to schools as a permanent part of their ongoing curriculum, meaning they can be used for years to come for many future activities.

Weelan - 黄尾黑凤头鹦鹉
为 WRAD 公共艺术项目创建。非常感谢 Geoff 和 WRAD 的整个团队提供的机会。
Weelan 是一种黄尾黑色凤头鹦鹉，是 Gunditjmara 和 Maar 民族的重要图腾或部分祖先。这个祖先在当地也被称为 Kapatj、Gamadj、Wilan 和 Wotan，后两者是对其召唤的模仿。对于玛尔和玛拉人来说，黑凤头鹦鹉的叫声预示着朋友的到来。在记录的 Kee Wurrung 气象学中，东方的粉红色/橙色反暮光拱下方的蓝灰色天空的黑暗部分被称为 Kappiheear puuron，或“黑色鹦鹉暮光”。这些鸟象征着雨的来临，也被认为是亲人灵魂在祖先中休息的向导和守护者。

St Thomas, Terang
In early 2019 I worked with St Thomas Primary in Terang do develop a trompe l’oeil trick of the eye mural on one of their outside walls. We copied the inside corridors for the school, and I painted a mural to give the illusion that there was a doorway into the school corridor where native Australian animals were breaking into the school bags and eating student lunches.
St Patrick's, Camperdown
In early 2018 I worked with St Patrick's Primary in Camperdown do develop a trompe l’oeil trick of the eye mural on the wall by their undercover area. For this mural, I recreated one of the classrooms at the school seen through a painted "hole" in the brick wall. In the class room you can see the students and teacher are all native Australian animals.
