Thinking Ahead…
Tuesday’s Workshop with our 3rd – 5th graders was so full of positive creative energy and productivity! In fact, all of us (the students, Jose, our amazing volunteers and me) were so engaged that our time together flew. I was so impressed with how quickly our creative chaos and artistic residue was cleaned up, chairs and tables stacked and my car was again filled to the brim with our materials and art.
It’s quite thrilling to see the mosaic mural coming together! The students continued to create mosaic sections that fill in the holes of our murals.
Looking ahead, I also explained to the students that I would like to have 6″ x 6″ square mosaics based on their own drawings that I can use to test and perfect our installation process. This team was so positive and ready to support the project with their art. We provided paper, contact paper and foam core, all cut to size, and the students did the rest.
Here are the results so far:
