elementary x 2

Kids are pretty amazing.  This week I'm facilitating mosaic projects with students at 2 elementary schools.  Did I mention they are totally different projects?  Not only are they different designs, but also materials, methods, and eventually installations.  The things that are the same are the excited faces and eager hands of the students.

One school I go to in the morning, and work with 3rd graders.  They have a border-like pattern that includes musical notes on a blue, yellow, and green rainbow background.  The Monday class completed the black musical notes, the Tues class did the blue stripe.  Tomorrow is yellow, Friday, green.  The mosaics will be secured with tile tape, then I'll install on the interior of the school at the end of the month.

At the afternoon school, I'm working with 5th graders to complete this 3x5' panel which will be screwed into the covered masonry wall at the entry of the school.  The cardinal is their school mascot.  So far, so good.
