I collaborated with 355 K-3 students to engage with their natural surroundings and the students created mosaics. The work is now installed at the school entrance.
Students learned about their local ecology through drawing, show/tell, art walks, contour drawing, color application, patterns, tile selection, hands-on mosaics application, fore/mid/background, etc.
