EMERALD'S junior football and cricket club has been given a bright new outlook after a new aerosol art mural was unveiled at Worrell Reserve.

Students of Emerald Secondary College worked alongside artist Tara Kingston and Cardinia Shire youth recreation officer Leonie Olsen to the produce the wall mural on the club's building.

The project was part of a council-run art program which began in May.

Ms Olsen said the 15 year 8 students learnt a variety of art forms including stencil making, painting and design.

"The program aims to provide young people with skills in advocacy, decision making, project planning, dealing with conflict, negotiation, budgeting and communication," she said.

Emerald junior football club president Winston Gate said the impressive design was "youth-friendly" and represented the football and cricket clubs that used the reserve.

Participants Ryan Crowley, Hayden Jones, Joel Eastwood, Taylor Strathdee, Isabella Sweetman-Wood, Kim Dearing, Steph Krapez, Jayme Lees,, Chelsea Davy, Michelle Tolmie, Zack Holland, Jordon Goughlan, Whitney Rapisarda, Luke Haylock and Jacob Knees worked on the mural.
