Anyone in North Carolina?

IVC Backgrounds - What do you use?

We have a 20 x 20 foot room for our IVC classroom. We have a banner with our school name and a mural. This is OK, but getting tiresome and when we do special projects, we need more specific backgrounds. What do you use? Art paper or murals? Painted cardboard? We are trying something new (for us) and planning to paint 2 king sized sheets with regular room paint. The art teacher is helping us and we want to paint a beach or island scene. Has anyone tried this before and do you have any tips for us…
