The last few steps.

School is now over but in the last few months the students needed to complete the mosaics so they would be ready for hanging. Wood was donated by a local lumber yard and the frames were made by a local vocational school.
All three mosaics were grouted. We used three different colors to grout. Each has either gray, brown or black grout. All three mosaics are hanging in three different places in the schools.

Mosaic one represents some of the things we use or see in school. There are pictures of kids, a clock, scissors, glue, a computer, a pencil, and even an apple for the teacher.


The next mosaic took on the theme of the town and what students see riding the school bus on the way to school. This was really the one that took the most time. It was the one that had the most detail and if we choose colors that were too close the image became lost. So this mosaic was pulled apart many times and redone. I'm wondering now if it's not the best in the series. Viewers should see a school bus, a house, playground, and a couple of local buildings. The fire station and library have been carefully created.

Our final mosaic depicts all the great stories that are out there and the wonderful places we can go when we pick up a book. There are fish, dragons, horses, stories about other countries, and sports stories. All these things flow out of the book in the corner of the mosaic.
